Queen For A Day
by 
Joe Scott 
John Green 
recording of probably 1963 
from 
The Best Of Bobby Blue Bland, Vol. 2 (MCA MCAC-27045) 
Don't leave and cry, don't cry when you're gone 
Lord, you just lost your kingdom, and you're a queen no more 
So don't cry tomorrow, when you hear me say 
Don't cry tomorrow when you hear me say, 
"Step down off of that throne woman, 
because you are only a queen for a day" 
From mink to rabbit, ain't it a shame 
It's you own fault baby, Lord, you only have yourself to blame 
So don't cry tomorrow, don't cry tomorrow when you hear me say 
Well, I want you to tip toe down off of that throne baby, 
because you're only a queen for a day 
I said you broke my heart by the things you said 
I took you from rags to riches, ahw, it went to your pretty little head 
So don't cry tomorrow, don't cry tomorrow, when you hear me say Lord, 
I want you to step down off of that throne baby, 
because you were only queen for a day
