Ahmad's Blues Lyrics


I go through the strangest kind of changes
Tryin' to find myself a way to pay my dues
And would you believe it, I'm so urban
My suburban friends don't know my bag of bluesI'm up in the mornin' on the corner so sedated
That you hardly know it's me
And late in the evening when I'm mellow
There's my fellow with the world for me to seeOh, it's a world full of cocktails at nine
Dinners and wine and very late shows
And where the crowd goesI'm a girl with a world of her own
A queen on her throne
Till every thing's gone and thenI wake up to find that I'm a stranger
In a world where I have never been before
I look for the man who held my hand
But now I know that he'll be coming back no moreI'm telling you 'bout this bag of blues
It's payin' dues, but I got news
Gimme that, I really want thatSpeakin' 'bout bag of blues
Mister, I'm payin' dues
Listen I'm changin' shoes

I'm gonna make me some changesI walk in a daze and then I'm back to my apartment
Where I'll grab another wink
And doze on the sofa till eleven
Then get up and pour myself another drinkThen back at the party, I'll be hearty
While waitin' for some better news
But now in the meantime
I'll just sit right here and cool itWe're gonna cool it now
And listen to the rhythm
Ahmad's blues

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Largely self-taught, Red Garland established a reputation as a solid post-bop mainstream player in the 50s, playing with many of the most famous jazz musicians of the time. He achieved international fame in the late 50s as part of the Miles Davis quintet. He went on to lead his own groups, but then retired in 1968, a victim the declining demand for jazz. He reemerged in 1976 and performed regularly until his death in 1984.
