Pacific Coast Blues
Composer(s): Wilbert Barranco; Charles Mingus
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Charles Mingus; Lucky Thompson



Well, the mornin' sun is risin' and I'm sittin' on your back door step
Yes, I'm just a fugitive from slumber, can't count one hour that I've slept!
I'm just as blue as the Pacific, and I know my eyes are just as wet!

Yes, I thought you loved me baby, but I guess I didn't know the score
And I'd give a dozen daydreams to hold you in my arms once more!
And if you ever need me, you'll find me waitin' for you at your door

So baby, think it over, don't let another day pass by
Come on and talk to me daddy, tell mama just one more soothin' lie!
If I can't have your lovin', I'm gonna kiss this world goodbye!
