Strollin'
Strollin',
while strollin' through the park
on a lovely but lonely afternoon,
without a single thing on my mind
and suddenly, there he was standing right beside me...
I started dreaming,
he started scheming
things I never thought he'd do
now he tells me that we're through
I just don't know what to do
I'm all alone and oh so blue
I'm strollin', I'm strollin'
I don't know where I'm going but I'm strollin'
I'm moanin', I'm moanin'
He left me for another and I'm moanin'
He said "Honey I'll never let you go,
Because I love you so"
He promised that he'd care for me
But all I saw, was misery
I stayed at home each night alone
He ran around, painted the town
I've gone and let the blues get me down
That's why I'm strollin' round
All he wanted was my money,
it's funny
To think I'd live to see the day he'd shun me
He's away, and I pray,
Lord please remove those clouds and make life sunny
Because I've got the blues that I can't lose
Tired strollin' round
Play those blue notes on your sax please
Booker Ervin
He'd never take me to a show
That old routine, he had no dough
He'd stay home long enough to eat
Dress up, then run out in the street
You wondered why I feel the way I do
Well that's why I'm so blue
Yes those blues they got me
Strollin' and sighin'
I'm talking to myself to keep from cryin'
All alone, he won't phone,
I'm so darn miserable
I feel like dyin'
Oh yes, I've got the blues
So confused
I just keep strollin' round
I just keep strollin'
I just keep strollin'
while strollin' through the park
on a lovely but lonely afternoon,
without a single thing on my mind
and suddenly, there he was standing right beside me...
I started dreaming,
he started scheming
things I never thought he'd do
now he tells me that we're through
I just don't know what to do
I'm all alone and oh so blue
I'm strollin', I'm strollin'
I don't know where I'm going but I'm strollin'
I'm moanin', I'm moanin'
He left me for another and I'm moanin'
He said "Honey I'll never let you go,
Because I love you so"
He promised that he'd care for me
But all I saw, was misery
I stayed at home each night alone
He ran around, painted the town
I've gone and let the blues get me down

Oh yes, I've got the blues
So confused
I just keep strollin' round
I just keep strollin'
I just keep strollin'
