Evil Blues Lyrics


Yes, yes
Worst feelin' I ever had
Yes, yes
Worst feelin' I ever had
These old evil blues
Have treated me awful badI had the blues all night
I'll be glad when mornin' comes
I've had the blues all night
I'll be glad when the mornin' comes
I'm gonna have a talk with some gypsy
See what evil have I donePlay it one time, boyThese old evil blues
Have been followin' me all this week
These old evil blues
Have been followin' me all this week
I can't rest at midnight
And day, I just can't sleepTake it boy, take itDown in old Death Valley
Tombstones and old dry bones
Down in old Death Valley

Tombstones and old dry bones
These old evil blues keep followin' me
Death Valley gonna be my home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

James Andrew (Jimmy) Rushing (August 26, 1901 - June 8, 1972) was an American blues shouter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He joined Walter Page's Blue Devils in 1927, then joined Bennie Moten's band in 1929. He stayed with the successor Count Basie band when Moten died in 1935. When the Basie band broke up in 1950 he briefly retired, then formed his own group. His build earned him a nickname and a signature song, "Mr. Five by Five" ("he's five feet tall and he's five feet wide").
