Me And The Blues (01-03-47)

Me And The Blues - The Count Basie Orchestra

Me and the blues

We spend a lot of time together

Me and the blues

We're travellin' on that "gettin' nowhere" road

Nobody knows

The lonely hours we spend together

Gets mighty weary

Totin' this troublesome load

I'll never know why men are so deceitful

They never treat you like they should

They love you and deceive you

Then they up and leave you

What makes them so no good

I'm goin' down and tell my troubles to the river

Can't go on livin'

Who'd go on livin'

If they were in my shoes

That's one way certain of seperatin' me and the blues

I'm goin' down and tell my troubles to the river

Can't go on livin'

Who'd go on livin'

If they were in my shoes

That's one way certain of seperatin' me and the blues
