Blues Fantasy by Langston Hughes
That's what the
Blues singers say.
Singing minor melodies
They laugh,
Hey! Hey!
My man's done left me,
Chile, he's gone away .
My good man's left me,
Babe, he's gone away.
Now the cryin' blues
Haunts me night and day.
Hey! ... Hey!
Weary,
Weary,
Trouble, pain.
Sun's gonna shine
Somewhere
Again.
I got a railroad ticket,
Pack my trunk and ride.
Sing 'em, sister!
Got a railroad ticket,
Pack my trunk and ride.
And when I get on the train
I'll cast my blues aside.
Laughing,
Hey! ... Hey!
Laugh a loud,
Hey! Hey!
