The Bluest Blues (with Lucky Thompson & His Orchestra)

I bought some pretty roses and a bottle of wine
To have the table ready for my baby to dine
I even got a candlestick for candlelight glow
And wrote a little note to tell her I love her so
What else can I do, I wish that I knew
For baby hasn't come and it's a quarter of two
That's why the blues I got are the bluest
(Yes, the blues she's got are the bluest)
I've got the bluest blues, blue, blue, bluest blues
It used to be whenever we were having a date
She never never came as much as five minutes late
She always used to greet me with a kiss and a sigh
And everything was sweet until I kissed her goodbye
I wonder if she is tired of me
Or is it my imagination having a spree
That's why the blues I got are the bluest
(Yes, the blues she's got are the bluest)
I've got the bluest blues, yes, the blue, blue, bluest blues
So now a leaky faucet starts to drip in the sink
And suddenly the radio has gone on the blink
It seems to me that everything is falling apart
And though it isn't raining, there is rain in my heart
But just like a loon that's watching the moon
I'm sitting, waiting, hoping that my baby comes soon
That's why the blues I got are the bluest
(Yes, the blues she's got are the bluest)
I've got the bluest blues, yes, the blue, blue, bluest blues
