Big City Blues Lyrics


[Mel:]
Much of my life has been spiced with romance
[Barry:]
Too many bedrooms I've slept in by chance
[Mel:]
Drownin' out my sorrow
[Barry:]
Longin' for tomorrow
[Both:]
Caught up in the big city blues
[Barry:]
Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky

[Mel:]
Don't wanna smile and I'm too sad to cry
[Barry:]
Clouds hangin' above me
[Mel:]
No one there to love me
[Both:]
Guess it's just the big city blues
[Barry:]
Someday I'll find me the dream that I'm after
I'll know her with only a glance
[Mel:]
She'll make me smile and she'll fill me with
Laughter
And our love will be like a dance
[Both:]
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I'll hold her near and I'll know that she's mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good bye to the big city blues
[Mel:]
Someday I'll find me the dream that I'm after
I'll know her with only a glance
[Barry:]
She'll make me smile and she'll fill me with
Laughter
And our love will be like a dance
[Both:]
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I'll hold her near and I'll know that she's mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good bye to the big city blues
Good bye to the big city blues
Good bye to the big city
Good bye to the big city blues

Annette Hanshaw (October 18, 1901 - March 13, 1985) was one of the first great female jazz singers. In the late 1920s she ranked alongside Ethel Waters, Bessie Smith and The Boswell Sisters. Her singing style was relaxed and suited the new jazz-influenced pop music of the late 1920s. Although she had a low opinion of her own singing, she continues to have fans because of how she combined the voice of an ingenue with the spirit of a flapper.
