Una Mae Carlisle recorded in London 1938-05-20 in Bb: https://youtu.be/STbgoYXsEY0
Fats Waller recorded in London on organ 1938-08-21 in Bb:  https://youtu.be/39h8apJTXrs
This is Una Mae's version, Fats' was slower.
Here's me playing the tab in Ab. I was having trouble singing it in Bb: https://youtu.be/OVdn00oYs0A
 
[Intro]
Abmaj7  Adim  Bbm7  Eb7  (2x)
 
[Verse]
    Abmaj7       Adim        Bbm7  Eb7
You tell me that you love me only
    Abmaj7          Adim       Bbm7  Eb7
You say that you're feelin’ so lonely
    Abmaj7        Ab7       Dbmaj7         Dbm7
But I know you're lyin' and that's why I'm cryin'
     Abmaj7         Eb9     Ab  Eb7
Now, don't try your jive on me.
 
[Verse]
        Abmaj7   Adim          Bbm7     Eb7
Oh, you ask me a whole gang of questions
    Abmaj7        Adim        Bbm7     Eb7
And then make all kinds of suggestions;
   Abmaj7   Ab7        Dbmaj7     Dbm7
If you only meant it I wouldn't resent it;
    Abmaj7         Eb9     Ab  Ab7
But don't try your jive on me.

I know that you think you're a sender

But you'll never make me surrender
   Abmaj7         Ab7          Dbmaj7
In fact you don't rate and I'm telling yougate.
