(Jack Sallee)

Session for Sun - November 15 or between December 12 and 20, 1954 - Sun Studio - Memphis, Tennessee

 F2WB 8045-na (U-141)
January 1954 SP Sun 215 Milkcow Blues Boogie / You're A Heartbreaker






You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
Well you can't break my heart anymore
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space


* You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore


You're a smooth talker
You're a real cool walker
But now you have talked out of turn
You're a high stepper
You're an eye-catcher
But you won't catch my glances anymore.
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place,
Someone I can always trust and to fill this aching space.


* Repeat


You're a heart breaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I've just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this aching space


* Repeat
