Roll on blues
Those mean ol' blues hang over me
Like a dark grey cloud, or the deep blue sea
Just like the wind drives them clouds away
Loves gonna make it a better day
Chorus:
Roll on blues, you can't hang around
For the girl I love is comin' to town
Roll on blues, you gotta let me be
Gonna paint the town, my honey and me
The gal I love will soon be here
And I hear her say, that I love you dear
And all my cares, the tears gonna fade
And love's gonna make it a better day
[ Chorus ]
Hand and hand, down old broadway
Where the lights at night are brighter than day
I'm strolling along, my baby and me
And the mean old blues gotta let me be
[ Chorus - x2 ]
