Gulf Coast Blues Lyrics
Gulf Coast Blues - Ella Fitzgerald
I've been blue all day
My man's gone away
He left his mama cold
For another gal I'm told
I've tried to treat him kind
I thought he would be mine
That man I hate to lose
That's why mama's got the blues
The man that I love
He has left me in this town
The man I love has gone
And left me in this town
And if it keeps on snowing
I will be gulf coast bound
Mailman passed but
He didn't leave no news
The mailman's passed
But he didn't leave no news
I tell the world he left me
Crying those gulf coast blues
These men up north honey
Sure do make me tired
These men up north
They surely do make me tired
They've got a mouth full of gimme
And a handful of much obliged
