BILLIE HOLIDAY - A SUNSETBONNET BLUE (AND A YELLOW STRAW HAT) lyrics

Irving Kahal / Sammy Fain

A sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat

Shy little he and she

Were declaring love's old story

In the shade of the old apple tree,,

A sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat

Decided to say, "I do"

So they rode to June and glory

On a bicycle built for two

Hear the past. The song is old.

The summer days are through

With silver threads among the gold

They still say, "I love you"

A sunbonnet blue and a yellow straw hat

Are true to this very day

For he loves her in December

As he did in May
