| Stay out on the levee
|
| Watching the seagulls fly
|
| My heart was feeling heavy
|
| Did not know the reason why
|
| I was crying for you
|
| Wherever you may be
|
| I was crying for you
|
| Because you once were me
|
| My best friend
|
| In this whole world
|
| Is a man who is dead and gone
|
| Now I’m bound to wander
|
| With nothing but his song
|
| And he walked out of this world
|
| As lonely as he came
|
| You can rest assured you won’t see my man again
|
| I’ve got the young blood blues
|
| They just won’t
|
| Let me be
|
| I’m going
|
| Back to New York
|
| I won’t be
|
| Back to stay
|
| If you
|
| See my old friends
|
| Won’t you tell them
|
| I’m still away
|
| Got heart ache like a river
|
| And it runs a muddy muck
|
| You could rest assure
|
| You won’t see me for a long, long while
|
| I’ve got the young blood blues
|
| They’re following me
|
| I’ve got the young blood blues
|
| They just won’t
|
| Let me be
|
| I’ve got the young blood blues
|
| They’re following me
|
| I’ve got the young blood blues
|
| They just won’t
|
| Let me be |
