Jazzin' Baby Blues (Take 4) - Alberta Hunter

I’m feeling lonely for those jazz blues only

Since I heard those jazz babies play 'em

First time I heard them, Lawdy, how I wept and moaned

They made me groan

To hear that old slide trombone and that moaning saxophone

I feel like rippin' when those jazzin' dippin'

Babies play, they harmonize together

Lord, I would rather hear them than to have a million in my hands

Jazz baby blues have something 'bout them I can understand

Those jazzin' blues are driving me insane

There’s nothing to them but that blue refrain

When that piano and flute begin to play

I get right up and throw myself away

Play me those good old jazzin' baby blues both night and day

No difference where I hear those blues, I’ll shout

I get unnecessary in and out

Just shake my shoulders and a wicked knee

Feel like I’ve been up on an all-night spree

Play those good old jazzin' baby blues once more for me

I’ve got the jazzin' blues, I feel so glad

The best old feeling that I ever had

Don’t want no sugar stirred into my tea

The jazzin' blues are sweet enough for me

When the band starts playing, peaches shiver on the tree

Those old piano jazzin' blues, I’ll scream

Just listen to that jazzy violin

Old piano man is jazzin' some

Makes me think of some of the things my daddy’s done

Play me those good old jazzin' blues until the sergeant comes

Make it pretty Eubie, that oughta get it
