James Booker - So Swell When You're Well

Kishore Kumar Hits — James Booker - So Swell When You're Well lyrics

Artist: James Booker

album: The Lost Paramount Tapes

I wrote this song back in the '60s
And Fats Domino and I recorded this together
He did the singing, I did the playing
The name of this song is "So Swell When You're Well"
Later on, Aretha Franklin and I collaborated on
Sort of an extension to the song
So you can also get it by Aretha Franklin on an album entitled
"Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky)"
You know I love ya honey from A to Z
Something 'bout you seem to worry me
Sometimes you love me, honey sometimes you don't
Today you will and I know tomorrow you won't
It's 'cause you're so swell when you're well
So swell when you're well
So swell when you're well
Well but you just stay sick so long
Keep on conniving and your jivin' too
True love is never gonna smile on you
You pace the floor and honey you sit and cry
Pull out your hair and then you wonder why
'Cause you're so swell when you're well, well think you're
So swell when you're well, I'm thinking
So, so, so swell when you're well
Well but you just stay sick so long
Well, well now, when you're well, when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
I'm thinking, so swell when you're well
Well but you just stay sick so long
You build me up and then you let me down
Gimme little smile and then you change it to a frown
If you love me like you say you do
I wonder how could you love me, well abuse me too?
Think you're so swell baby when you're well
I think you're so swell when you're well
So swell when you're well
Well but you just stay sick so long
