About the Blues - Julie London

They always hit you when you can’t hit back

And when they’re blue enough

There’s something black about the blues

And if you fail, they’re gonna fade, you lose

About the blues, I know the blues

They serve you memories on a plate of tears

They know your appetite will last for years

You can’t refuse

You join the club and gotta pay your dues

When you hang your hat in heartbreak hall

Your win broken dreams must crawl

And your gloom will continue to grow

Until there’s nothing that you don’t know

About the blues, about the blues

You can’t look forward to the day your free

You look but yesterday is all you see

Don’t buy a book about it, just ask me

About the blues

About the blues
