Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

(Bessie Smith) Love, oh love, oh careless love, You've fly though my head like wine You've wrecked the life Of many a poor girl And you nearly spoiled this life of mine Love, oh love, oh careless love, In your clutches of desire You've made me break a many true vow Then you set my very soul on fire Love, oh love, oh careless love, All my happiness bereft Cause you've filled my heart with weary old blues Now I'm walkin' talkin' to myself Love, oh love, oh careless love, Trusted you now it's too late You've made me throw my old friend down That's why I sing this song of hate Love, oh love, oh careless love, Night and day I weep and moan You brought the wrong man into this life of mine For my sins till judgement I'll atone

ReplyDeleteLove, oh love, oh careless love,
You've fly though my head like wine
You've wrecked the life
Of many a poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
All my happiness bereft
Cause you've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin' talkin' to myself
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Trusted you now it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Night and day I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins till judgement I'll atone
