King for a Day Blues Songtext
von Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson

I′m king for a day, baby
I'm crowning you for my queen
I′m king for a day, baby
Crowning you for my lovely queen

For you, my baby
There ain't no in-between

Rubies on your fingers
Diamonds on your toes
Rubies on your fingers
Diamonds on your toes


Make an ermine, baby
Silk and satin for your clothes

I'm buying you golden slippers
With rhinestones at your feet
I′m buying you golden slippers
With rhinestones at your feet

I′ll feed you milk and honey
And a dish of fruit to eat

I'll take you in my arms, baby
Love you in a pleasing way
I′ll take you in my arms, baby
Love you in a pleasing way


We'll go to my castle, baby
And I′ll be king for a day
