In the song 'My baby just cares for me' there is a line which says 'he don't care for high tone places'

Is it to do with colour?

I never really thought of it as meaning that.. I always thought "high tone places" meant posh clubs, restaurants etc.,

[delboy3]

I always thought she sang "high town places", in other words upmarket areas

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me

Agree withkaterich48, high-tone simply means high class.
