Blue Blues Songtext
von Bessie Smith

Blue, blue
I got a tale to tell you, I′m blue
Something comes over me, daddy
And I'm blue about you
Listen to my story
And everything′ll come out true

When your man is gone, your rent is all due
He's not comin' back, you know he′s all through
You weep and cry, feel like you could die
If you was a bird, you′d take wings and fly


Here is one thing, gon' make you blue, blue
When you ain′t got a daddy to tell your troubles to
Step right out and think, start right in to wink
Deep feelin' in your heart, you start right in to drink

If you′ve ever been blue, you know how a woman feel
If you've ever been blue, you know how a good woman feel
You′re a worried child, honey, yes, indeed

Blue, blue
I had a tale to tell you, I was blue
Somethin' fell on me, daddy
And I was blue over you
You done listen to my story
And everything come out true
