Mildred Bailey - The Rockin' Chair Lady

Blue Prelude

Let me sigh
Let me cry
When I'm blue
Let me go
Away from this lonely town

Won't be long
Till my song
Will be through
'Cause I know
I'm on my last go-round

All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Wouldn't heal all this pain in my soul
What is love but a prelude to sorrow?
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal?

Here I go
Now you know
Why I'm leaving
Got the blues!
What can I lose?
Goodbye

Now you know
Why I'm leaving
Got the blues!
What can I lose?
Goodbye
