Jonah Jones

Jonah Jones (born Robert Elliott Jones; December 31, 1909 – April 29, 2000) was a jazz trumpeter who created concise versions of jazz and swing and jazz standards that appealed to a mass audience. In the jazz community, it can be argued that he might be best appreciated for his work with Stuff Smith. He was sometimes referred to as "King Louis II," a reference to Louis Armstrong. Jones started playing alto saxophone at the age of 12 in the Booker T. Washington Community Center band in Louisville, Kentucky before quickly transitioning to trumpet, where he excelled. more »

Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill

Now I know he's the guy who put tears in my eyes
A thousand times or more
Oh, but ev'rytime he would apologize
I loved him more than before

Hear what I say, girls, keep away, uh huh
Don't mess with Bill
No, no, no, no
Don't mess with Bill

Leave my Billy alone
Don't mess with Bill
Get a guy of your own
Don't mess with Bill

Now there's Johnny, there's Joe
And there's Frank and Jim, just to name a few
Now Bill's got me and I've got him
I'm sure there's one for you

Hear what I say, girls, keep away, uh huh
Don't mess with Bill
No, no, no, no
Don't mess with Bill

He is mine all mine
Don't mess with Bill
I'll say it one more time
Don't mess with Bill

Though I tell myself he wants no one else
'Cause he keeps coming back to me
Now I'm in no position to want competition
I want to be sure as can be

Hear what I say, girls, keep away, uh huh
Don't mess with Bill
No, no, no, no
Don't mess with Bill

Leave my Billy alone
Don't mess with Bill
Get a guy of your own
Don't mess with Bill

'Cause he is mine all mine
Don't mess with Bill
I'll say it one more time
Don't mess with Bill
