Jim Dixon	Lyr Req: Depression Era Songs (104* d)	Lyr Add: WHISTLE AND BLOW YOUR BLUES AWAY	08 Nov 16
WHISTLE AND BLOW YOUR BLUES AWAY Words by Joe Young, music by Carmen Lombardo; copy;1932. As recorded by Billy Cotton and His Band CHORUS: Here's how to make things okay: Just whistle and blow your blues away. You'll swing along through the day, And whistle and blow your blues away. You're bound to lose your troubles and ev'ry care. They're only little bubbles, so give them air. Come on and whitewash the gray. Just whistle and blow your blues away. * A recording by Johnny Hamp and His Orchestra uses this as the first line of the chorus (the rest is as given above): "When things look dark gray, now don't you delay" A catalog entry says there is a missing verse that begins "Some professor up in Maine said that whistlers are insane"
