Biography:
Madeleine Peyroux is a jazz singer who was born in 1974 in Athens, Georgia, USA, and raised in New York City and Paris, France. She is noted for her vocal style, which is highly reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Madeleine also has qualities similar to Ella Fitzgerald. Though Peyroux may remind some listeners of Holiday, there are differences, and she has her own sense of phrasing and interpretation.
Peyroux started singing at the age of fifteen, when she discovered street musicians in the Latin Quarter in Paris.

C / / / | E7 / / /
Sweet young thing of sixteen
A7 / / / | / / / /
Thought I'd step out one night
Dm / / / | A7 / / / | Dm / A7 / | Dm / / /
I longed to get the thrill in life i've missed
F / / / | Cdim / / /
I met a youth
C / B Bb | A7 / / /
A little bit uncouth
D7 / / / | / / / /
Although he seemed alright
G7 / / / | / / / /
I knew him by the moment when we kissed
Dm / / / | A7 / / / | Dm / A7 / | Dm / / /
Then I got home, next day with a swollen head
D7 / / / | / / / / | G7 / / / | / / / /
My girlfriend asked if i'd had fun I said,
CHORUS:
C / / / | E7 / / /
"was I drunk? was he handsome?
A7 / / / | / / / /
Did momma give me hell?
Dm / / / | A7 / / / | Dm / A7 / | Dm / / /
Did I get a thrill? Am I full of quiver?
F / / / | Cdim / / /
Was he rough? Did I care?
C / B Bb | A7 / / /
Am I glad I fell?
D7 / / / | / / / / | G7 / / / | / / / /
Every time I think of him, do I shiver?
C / / / | E7 / / /
Was he hot? And was I?
A7 / / / | / / / /
And would he stand for maybe?
Dm / / / | A7 / / /
He would not? Did I lie?
G7 / / / | / / / /
Does he still think i'm a baby?
F / / / | Cdim / / /
If I was, am I still?
C / B Bb | A7 / / /
Do I care? No, Don't be silly
D7 / / / | / / / /
Was I drunk? Was he handsome?
G7 / / / | C / / /
And did momma give me hell?
Was I drunk?
Was he handsome?
Did momma give me hell?
With his hands loose as no refusin'
Did he fight?
Was I blue?
Almost shamed to tell
And I don't know yet the system he was usin'
Well I said, stop, please, behave!
Well what's the use of breathin'?
He said, give
So I gave
After all, what was I savin'?
Am I glad?
Holy gee,
Have I had fun, you're askin' me?
Was I drunk?
Was he handsome?
And did momma give me hell?"
