Blues Keep Calling

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
