Bluesette
Bluesette
Composer(s): Norman Gimbel; Jean 'Toots' Thielemans
Originally performed by: Toots Thielemans
Covered by various other artists
Poor little, sad little blue Bluesette
Dont you cry, don't you fret
You can bet one lucky day you'll waken
And your blues will be forsaken
Some lucky day lovely love will come your way
If there is love in your heart to share
Dear Bluesette don't despair
Some blue boy is waiting just like you
To find a someone to be true to
Two loving arms you can nestle in to stay
Get set, Bluesette
True love is coming
Your lonely heart soon will be humming
Pretty little Bluesette
Musn't be a mourner
Have you heard the news yet
Love's 'round the corner
Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbons
To make your your next springtime
Your gold wedding ring time

Leavin' Cheyenne
Leavin' Cheyenne
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Ian Tyson
I ride an Old Paint
A leadin' old Dan
I'm goin' to Montana
For to throw the Hoolahan
They feed in the coolies
And they water in the trough
Their tails are all matted
And their backs are all wrong
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm leaving Cheyenne
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
I'm leaving Cheyenne
I'm going to Montana
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
Now old Bill Jones
Had two daughters and a son
The son went to Denver
And the daughter went wrong
His wife, she got killed
In a polo fight
But, still he keeps a singing
From morning till night
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm leaving Cheyenne
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
I'm leaving Cheyenne
I'm going to Montana
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
Now, when I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on the pony
Lead him out of his stall
Tie my bones to his back
Head our faces toward the west
We'll ride the prairie
That we love the best
Ride her out Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
And goodbye Old Paint
I'm leaving Cheyenne
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
I'm going to Montana
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm leaving Cheyenne
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
Goodbye Old Paint
I'm a leaving Cheyenne

Blues, Why Do You Worry Me?
Composer(s): Charlie Musselwhite
Performer(s): Charlie Musselwhite
Blues, why you worry me
Why do you stay so long
You came to me yesterday
and you stayed the whole night long
I will listen to my people
My friends and nobody else
I will listen to my people
My friends and nobody else
I had to make mistakes in life
I had to learn it all for myself
I learn to smile at trouble
I won't let it get me down
I learn to smile at trouble
I won't let it get me down
I'll keep on keepin' on
'Till the last deal goes down
Blues, why you worry me
Why do you stay so long
Blues, why you worry me
Why do you stay so long
You came to me yesterday
and you stayed the whole night long
I will listen to my people
My friends and nobody else
I will listen to my people
My friends and nobody else
I had to make mistakes in life
I had to learn it all for myself
I learn to smile at trouble
I won't let it get me down
I learn to smile at trouble
I won't let it get me down
I'll keep on keepin' on
'Till the last deal goes down

Leavin'
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band
Mama stood cryin' at the back door
Papa's lacin' on his leavin' shoes
Little Joe's blowin' on the horn outdoors
I've seen enough, I can't take no more
And I'm leavin'
Might go to Philadelphia, PA
Might wind up in Boston, I just can't say
Got my axe in one hand
Got my Greyhound ticket in the other hand
And I'm leavin'
I tell you I'm leavin'
Gonna play my blues
Yes I'm leavin'
Got nothing to lose
Well, I'm dying to get the hell out of here
Right Away
Mama stood cryin' at the back door
Papa's lacin' on his leavin' shoes
Little Joe's blowin' on the horn outdoors
I've seen enough, I can't take no more
And I'm leavin'
I said I'm leavin'
Gonna play my guitar
I'm leavin'
Don't care if I'm a big star
I'm leavin' this old ghetto
Right away, right away

Blues Stay Away From Me
Composer(s): Alton Delmore; Rabon Delmore;
Henry Glover; Wayne Raney
Originally performed by: The Delmore Brothers
Covered by various other artists
Blues, stay away from me
Blues, why don't you let me be?
Don't know why you keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never did agree
Tears, so many I can't see
Years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free

Leave The Purty Girls Alone
Leave The Purty Girls Alone (aka Leave The Pretty Girls Alone)
Composer(s): Carson Robison
Performer(s): Carson Robison
and multiple other artists
Met a little gal in London
Pretty hair and eyes of blue
Listen while I tell my story
Show you what a gal will do
She told me go and spend my money
To buy a purty di'mond stone
I put it on her hand on Sunday
And Monday morning she was gone
Then I met a gal in Memphis
Thought she was on the square
Don't know where she went from Memphis
But anyhow I paid the fare
I thought she was a shy young maiden
Because her cheeks were always red
But when I went to find my bank-roll
I found that I was shy instead
Then I met a Spanish maiden
And Oh! I thought she loved me so
She didn't speak the English language
The only word she said was "dough"
I can't forget that senorita
A playin' on her castinets
She nearly put me in the poor-house
I wore my socks till they were spats
Then I went to Honolulu
Just to see what I could see
Saw the Hula girls a-shakin'
On the beach at Waikiki
I never can foget them maidens
Gee! but they were nice and brown
I learned a lot about their shakin'
When they went and shook me down
There I thought I learned my lesson
Thought the gals and I were through
Till I met a red-head mama
Who said she'd always love me true
Said she didn't want my money
But she got it just the same
'Cause I took her to the preacher
Got myself a ball and chain
I used to be a carefree trav'ler
Used to be a regular sheik
Now I have to take my pay check
And turn it over ev'ry week
Oh! don't forget the things I tell you
A woman's heart is made of stone
But listen to my warnin'
Leave the purty girls alone

Blues Run The Game
Blues Run The Game
Composer(s): Jackson C. Frank
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel
and various other artists
Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I’ve been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues run the game
Send out for whiskey, baby
Send out for gin
Me and room service, honey
Me and room service, babe
Me and room service, whoa
Living life a sin
When I ain’t drinking, baby
You are on my mind
When I ain’t sleeping, honey
When I ain’t sleeping, momma
When I ain’t sleeping, whoa
You know you’ll find me crying
Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I’ve been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues run the game
Living is a gamble, baby
Loving’s much the same
Wherever I have played
Wherever I throw those dice
Wherever I have played
The blues run the game
Maybe when I’m older, baby
Someplace down the line
I’ll wake up older
So much older, momma
Wake up older
And I’ll just stop all my trying
Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I’ve been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues are all the same

Leave The Dishes In The Sink, Ma
Leave The Dishes In The Sink, Ma
Composer(s): Milton Berle - Gene Doyle - Spike Jones
Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers
Pa started in 'a running
When he heard the whistle blow
The Postman brought a letter
And airmail from our Joe
It said "I've come back safely
From across the ocean blue"
Then Pa took off Ma's apron
And he hollered out "Yahoo!"
Oh leave the dishes in the sink, Ma
Leave the dishes in the sink
Each dirty plate will have to wait
Tonight we're going to celebrate
Leave the dishes in the sink
Pa started in 'a jigging
And he cried, "Pa shake a leg!
I'm going down the cellar
'Cause there's cider in the keg
The baloney's in the icebox
There's cheese and pickles, too
We'll call in all the neighbors
'Cause tonight's our night
Yahoo!"
Oh leave the dishes in the sink, Ma
Leave the dishes in the sink
Each dirty plate will have to wait
Tonight we're going to celebrate
Leave the dishes in the sink
Sy began 'a fiddling
And the dancing was begun
Then Grandpa took his coat off
And yelled, "Partner's everyone!"
So each one picked a partner
And they counted out, "One, two"
And Ma she twirled so pretty
They all hollered, "Yahoo!"
Oh leave the dishes in the sink, Ma
Leave the dishes in the sink
Each dirty plate will have to wait
Tonight we're going to celebrate
Leave the dishes in the sink
And while they all were dancing
The door flew open wide
And everybody stopped
As Sergeant Joey stepped inside
He shouted out, "Attention!"
And everybody knew
To bother with the dishes
Was not the thing to do
Leave the dishes in the sink, Ma
Leave the dishes in the sink
Each dirty plate will have to wait
Tonight we're going to celebrate
Leave the dishes in the sink

Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll
Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul

I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know
I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow
Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour
'Cause now I'm living on blues power
Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll
Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul
There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower
'Cause now I'm living on blues power
Talking to you, now
The boogie's gonna pull me through
Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists
Well there are blues that you get from worryin’
There are blues that you get from pain
There are blues when you’re lonely
For your one and only
Blues you never can explain
Oh, blues, blues, blues that you get from longing
But the bluest blues that be
Are the sort of blues that’s on my mind
They’re the very meanest kind
Blues my naughty sweetie gave to me
Blues that you get from longing
Longing to hold someone on your knee
But the kind of blues that always stab
On some hirin’ taxi cab
Blues my naughty sweetie gave to me
Blues my naughty sweetie gave to me

Blues Indigo
Blues Indigo
Composer(s): Julien Clerc; David McNeil
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Persans, gouttières ou mistigris
Si la nuit tous les chats sont gris
Les hommes aussi sont tous égaux
Quand tombe cette chappe indigo
Ciment de poussière et d'ennui
Qui descend autour de minuit
Sur les pavés, les quais de gare
Les arrivées, les cases-départ
Des jeux de l'oie perdus d'avance
Quand les dés roulent sans qu'on les lance...
Sans quand les lance...
On fouille aussi dans les poubelles
Des souvenirs, on se rappelle
Des princesses et des cendrillons
Des éphémères, des papillons
Qui tournaient dans les abat-jours
De nos palais de rois d'un jour
On se bat dans les terrains vagues
Eux font leurs griffes, on fait des tags
Et des marelles, mais pas de chance
La boîte tombe pas où on la lance
Où on la lance
Où on la lance...
Chat des palaces, voleurs, voyous
Des favelas ou du bayou
Qu'on soit Mozart ou John Coltrane
C'est toujours le même blues qu'on traîne
Faudrait, sur la carte du Tendre
Des Touaregs pour nous attendre
Quelques repères et des sherpas
Des guides, des boussoles, des compas
Ou des Livingstone dans nos jungles
Moins de foin, un peu plus d'épingles
Des camions entiers d'amoureuses
De mygales, de mante-religieuses
Que nos appels aux ambulances
Elles les entendent quand on les lance
Quand on les lance
Quand on les lance...

My mama done tol' me
When I was in knee pants
My mama done tol' me, Son!
A woman'll sweet talk
And give ya the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing
The blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin'
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' `cross the trestle
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
A-echoin' back the blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockin' bird'll
Sing the saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Jo
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns
An' heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two face
A worrysome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
