Words & Music by Billy Austin & Louis Jordan
Recorded by Louis Jordan*, 1944 (#2)
Am G7alt F7 E7 Am Fdim
F7 E7
I got a gal that's always late, ev'ry time we have a date,
Dm7 Dm+7 E7 A Am7 F#7
But I love her, yes I love her,
Am G7alt F7 E7 A
F#7
I'm gonna walk right up to her gate and see if I can get it straight,
D9 E7 A F#7
'Cause I want her, I'm gonna ask her.
A C#7 D D6
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
E7 Cdim E7 E7/6 A
Bm7-5 E7
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
Dm6 Dm+7 E7 E7/6 A F#7
Yous is still my baby, baby --
Dm6 Bm7-5 E7/6 Fdim E7/6 A
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out.
D Cdim B7 D9 Bm7-5
A
A woman is a creature that has al - ways been strange;
D Cdim
Just when you're sure of one,
B7 E7
You find she's gone and made a change.
A C#7 D D6
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
E7 Cdim E7 E7/6 A
F#7
Maybe baby's found somebody new,
B7 Fdim E7 A
Or is my baby still my baby true?
*I'm crediting Jordan here principly because he co-wrote and popularized the song, but
listened to several versions -- notably Dinah Washington's from 1956 and Diana Krall's
1994 -- and each have their advantages.
