Billie Holiday
One of the greatest ever
Sang her jazz real cool
Loved her heroin
Although it caused so much harm
Cuts a life span short
A soulful lady
Knew the way to sing a song
Sang those rhythmic blues
Sang like no one else
Mournful note in every breath
Sadly laid to rest
Loved to gather round
Never quite sure of the day
Nor kept track of time
Beautiful to hear
Quiet without her around
Miss that soulful sound
Ended so badly
We will never forget her
Billie Holiday
