The Broadway Blues 1920

When you hear your feet
echo in the street,
when it's late and it's raining,
and you're thinking of the sleep
you're gonna lose;
When you hang your hat
in an empty flat,
And you're feeling so lonely
then you're getting those Broadway Blues.

When your money's gone
and your clothes are worn,
Just a little bit shabby,
and you find you need another pair of shoes;
When your only pal,
steals away your gal,
And you think of the river;
Then you're getting those Broadway Blues.

When your heart is aching for the trees,
When you long to hear those buzzin' bees.
And when you want to eat a cake
just like your Mammy used to bake,
and you find you've got a wish
to hook an unsuspecting fish,
when your cloud has lost it's silver line,
And the colors in your rainbow cease to shine,
Pin your farewell on your door,
Catch a train and don't care
where it's leaving for,
You've got those Broadway Blues.

When your heart is aching for the trees,
When you long to hear those buzzin' bees.
And when you want to eat a cake
just like your Mammy used to bake,
and you find you've got a wish
to hook an unsuspecting fish,
when your cloud has lost it's silver line,
And the colors in your rainbow cease to shine,
Pin your farewell on your door,
Catch a train and don't care
where it's leaving for,
You've got those Broadway Blues.
