Blues in the South

 

 

 

Well, my heart is lonely and my room's so cold and bare.
Well, my heart is lonely and my room's so cold and bare.

I'm deep down in Dixie, but I feel like I ain't nowhere.

I've got the Blues in the South, cause my gal's in the West,
and my home's in the North, and there awfulness.

Deep dawn in the Delta, two thousand miles from home.
Can't even call my baby, cause she don't have a telephone.

I left my baby in the West, it seems the Blues will never cease,
Because before I came down South, I lost my money in the East.

Yes, my heart is lonely and this room's so cold and bare.
I've got the Blues in the South, cause I feel I ain't nowhere. 

[Louis Armstrong. Blues in the South]
