Sung by Bert Williams, 1875-1922 By Henry Creamer, 1879-1930 and Turner Layton, 1894-1978 1. Blues ain't nothin' but the easy goin' heart disease, Brother stop your moanin' Blues can't make you warmer if you're bound to freeze Sister stop your groanin' Why don't you rise and shine Take dem blues right off your mind 'cause the blues ain't nothin' but the easy goin' heart disease, That's all! Lawd! CHORUS (2 times) Ev'ry body's crazy 'bout the doggone blues, but I'm happy, ([SPOKEN]_whew_) Ev'ry body's crazy. but if I must choose, no doggone blues for mine. I gets aplenty to eat, I never worry, Shoes on my feat, don't have to hurry, I'm not afraid, my rent is paid, And I can sleep at ninetyfour in the shade. Ev'ry body's singing lotta bad old news but I'm happy, ([SPOKEN] (_whew_) yes, happy. ([SPOKEN) _whew_) Life's too doggone short to weep and whine. Dem home sickness blues, Lawd! take 'em away. Ev'ry body's crazy 'bout the doggone blues, but I'm happy all the time. [2nd time only] ([SPOKEN] _whew_) 2. You all know how Mister Jonah got into that whale, Fell into the ocean There's one man that should have sung the blues but failed, Never had the notion Old Jonah knew dem whales 'Stead of blues he ragged the scales, then the whale got gay and let old Jonah right out of jail, No lie! Lawd! (CHORUS 2 times) |
