Blues Keep Calling

Lyrics

I hear a drum in a jive joint beating out the blues

My heart keeps aching, baby, aching for you

Blues blues blues keep a-calling to me

While the drums keep a-beating

My baby keeps cheating on me

At a table in the corner my woman's got a man

Laughing and talking got a drink in each hand

Blues blues blues keep a-calling to me

He's looking mighty happy

He's gone and stole my baby from me

From me

I keep walking

Blues

Blues keep talking

Blues

Blues blues blues keep a-calling to me

Until my baby comes a-calling

The blues keep calling to me

While the rain keeps falling

Blues keep calling to me
