Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong Learnin The Blues

The tables are empty The dance floor's deserted You play the same love song It's the tenth time you've heard it That's the beginning Just one of the clues You've had your first lesson In learning the blues The cigarettes you light One after another Won't help you forget him And the way that you love him You're only burning A torch you can't lose But you're on the right track For learning the blues When you're at home The blues will taunt you constantly When you're out in the crowd The blues will haunt your memory The nights when you don't sleep The whole night you're crying But you can't forget him Soon you even stop trying You walk the floor And wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break You'll learn in the blues Yes, the table's all empty The dance floor's deserted And you play the same love song It's the tenth time you've heard it It's the beginning Just one of the clues You've had your first lesson In learning the blues The cigarettes you light One after another Won't help you forget him And the way that you love him You're only burning A torch that you can't lose But you're on the right track For learning the blues When you're at home alone The blues will taunt you constantly When you're out in the crowd The blues will haunt your memories The nights when you don't sleep The whole night you're crying But you can't forget him Soon you even stop trying Man, you walk the floor And wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break Yeah, brother, that's when you learn in the blues Yes, when you're at home alone The blues will taunt you constantly And when you're out in the crowd The blues will haunt your memories The nights when you don't sleep The whole night you're crying Yeah, but you can't forget him Soon you even stop trying Yes, man, you walk the floor That's when it's rough And wear out that last pair of treadles When you feel your heart break Man, learn in the blues
