Jelly Roll Morton, Gregory Hines & Tonya Pinkins - Jelly's Last Jam (1992 Original Broadway Cast)

Last Chance Blues - 1992 Original Broadway Cast Recording

One day the world is sittin' in your sweet young hand
Then all at once you turn around
And there you stand
A face you barely recognize
The little lines around the eye
Talkin' 'bout the last chance blues

Legs are gettin' slower
But I got nowhere to go
Money gettin' lower
And people sayin' no
Broken dreams and wasted bets
Now and then, a few regrets
Talk about your last chance blues

Ain't it fun?
Ain't it great?
Dressed to the nines
And ten years out of date
New York Times
Says I'm yesterday's news
I got the last chance blues

What if I whispered low
Sweet man, I need you so
Just once
Kept my finger off the fuse
But I had to fight
Prove I was right
And that's the thing about the last chance blues

What if I never lied?
What if just once, I tried to say
How I really feel
Instead of pushin' her away?
If I'd known what I had to lose
I wouldn't be singin' these last chance blues

If I saw her standing there (If I saw him standing there, mean as hell, I wouldn't care)
Looking hotter than hell (I would tell him hey)
I wouldn't care (You gotta listen to me)
I'd say, baby (Shout loud, he would hear, well don't you know I'll always love you)
I love you (Damn it, don't refuse)
Don't make sing the last chance blues

Now that I know
What I could lose
I don't wanna sing
The last chance blues
