Lyrics Beale Street Blues - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

Beale Street Blues

When I lost my baby, I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby, I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she left me behind
I pass a million people, I can’t tell who I meet
I pass a million people, I can’t tell who I meet
'Cause my eyes are full of tears, where can my baby be?
(He went to the Gypsy and had his fortune read)
Yes, I did, yes, I did
(He went to see a Gypsy, he had his fortune read)
She told me some bad news, she said, «Your baby has quit you
This time she’s gone for good»
When I lost my baby, I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby, I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she left me behind
I almost lost my mind
I almost lost my mind
