Bluin' The Blues 1919

Down in Savanna lives a darkey
known as Hosanna Clay,
How that darkey can play
he has those piano keys
a moaning blue harmonies all day,
he drives your sorrows away,
Mister Clay,
can play the Blues
to any old tune
you happen to say.

And when Hosanna
plays a dance for you
you cannot refuse
you just wear out your shoes,
he plays piano so sweet
you dance till your weary feet refuse,
to lift up both of your shoes,
they refuse.
until he starts to play his tune
he calls Bluin' the Blues.

Bluin' the Blues
Bluin' the Blues
The people all declare
Hosanna is a bear
at the piano no one can compare
they just wear out their shoes
when he is doin'
the lovin' Bluin' Blues
Bluin' the Blues.

Your feet, sore feet,
they refuse,
to lift up both of your shoes,
they refuse,
until he starts to play his tune
he calls Bluin' the Blues.

Now Clay can surely play
how Clay can make you sway
the people all declare
Hosanna is a bear
at the piano no one can compare
they just wear out their shoes,
when he is doin'
the lovin' Bluin' Blues
Bluin' the Blues.

Clay can surely play
how Clay can make you sway
the people all declare
Hosanna is a bear
at the piano no one can compare
they just wear out their shoes,
when he is doin'
Bluin' Blues
Some Blues.
