Blues 1919

What is that song about kisses
what is that song about smiles,
If I could have my way
I'd sing a song today
that would beat them all by miles.
I wouldn't sing about smiling
that's not the title I choose,
I would sing about what I've got
and what I've got's the weary blues.

There are Blues
that you get from worry
there are blues
that you get fromn pain.
And there are blues
when you're lonely
for your one and only
the blues you can never explain,
There are blues
that you get from longing
tbut the bluest blues that be
are the sort of blues that's on my mind
they're the very meanest kind
the Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me.

No use in chasing those rainbows
Rainbows will never help you,
they look so bright and gay
but they will fade away
then you'll find the sky is blue,
look at the ocean ansd that's blue,
My sweeties eyes are blue too,
When she got me she blew away
and natur'lly that makes me blue.

There are Blues
that you get when single,
those are blues
that will give you pain,
and there are blues when you're lonely
for your one and only
the blues you can never explain.
There are Blues
that you get from longing
to hold some one on your knee
but the kind of blues that always stabs
comes from hiring taxi cabs
the Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me.

There are blues
that you get from sweetie
when she 'phones to another guy,
and there are blues
when your honey
spends all of your money
and blues when she tells you a lie,
there are blues
that you get when married,
wishing that you could be free,
but the kind of blues
that's good and blue
comes from buying wine for two
the kind of blues my sweetie gives to me.
