Dying With the Blues
William Astor Morgan, Fletcher Henderson
[Verse]
I've lost my happy home
My baby told me
To pack my trunk and go
My heart is fairly breaking
To have to go
Oh hon, isn't it a sin
To drive your poor baby
Out in the sleet and wind?
But he just pointed to the door
And just said "Go"
[Chorus]
I'll almost go insane
When I leave you, daddy
To ride, moanin' like a train
For there's no other
Daddy, won't you change?
Oh hon, I've got the blues
Runnin' through my soul
Take me back, sweet daddy
I am growing cold, honey
Why, there's no other
Who can ease my pain
[Chorus]
Oh hon, I've got the blues
Just runnin' through my soul
Just take me back, oh sweet daddy
Why, I am growing cold, honey
For there's no other
Who can ease my pain
