Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby Words & Music by Billy Austin & Louis Jordan Recorded by Louis Jordan* 1944 (#2)      G7alt                    Fdim   I got a gal that’s always late ev’ry time we have a date But I love her       yes I love her         G7alt                             I’m gonna walk right up to her gate and see if  I  can get it straight ’Cause I want her   I’m gonna ask her.    Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?             Cdim         /6          The way you’re actin’ lately makes me doubt Yous is still my baby baby -- Seems my flame in your heart’s done gone out.             Cdim              -5     A woman is a creature that has al - ways been strange;                  Just when you’re sure of one You find she’s gone and made a change. Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?       Cdim          /6        Maybe baby’s found somebody new 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.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson exprime l'incertitude et la douleur d'un homme qui se questionne sur la fidélité de sa partenaire. Il ressent une distance grandissante entre eux et se demande si elle est encore vraiment la femme de sa vie. Entre des promesses d'amour et des comportements déroutants, il cherche à comprendre ce qu'il en est réellement, oscillant entre l'espoir et le doute. Son histoire se déroule dans un contexte où les relations amoureuses sont parfois complexes et pleines de rebondissements. Cela rappelle que l'amour peut être un terrain glissant, où les certitudes vacillent en un instant.
