Shirley Horn - Travelin' Light

Some Of My Best Friends Are The Blues

Come in & join the party... we're running out of cheer
Don't be too surprised
if you don't find another soul in here
They say that people judge you ...
by the company you choose
Well some of my best friends are the blues

I'm sitting in my rocker... but I just don't feel at home
When misery is your company...
you'd be better off if you're all alone
I been walking round in circles-
since I got my walking shoes
Some of my very best friends are the blues

I say the blues come & go... without warning
You must excuse them
if they're not what you call polite
But they butter my bread almost every morning

The blues are all around me... got the blues everywhere Right now the blues surround me...
I got blues with blues to spare
I know my daddy left me... they came & brought the news

Some of my best friends are the blues
Some of my best are the blues
