GUEST,Joseph Scott 'Got the blues, too damn mean to cry' (30) RE: 'Got the blues, too damn mean to cry' 28 Apr 16


"The Weary Blues," words and music by H. Alf Kelley, 1916:

"I've got the blues, and I am too darn mean to cry;
I've got the blues, and I am too darn mean to cry;
Sometimes I wish that I could lay me down and die...
There are some people who say 'Weary Blues' ain't bad;
There are some people who say 'Weary Blues' ain't bad;
But it's the worst old feeling that I ever had."

Title of a 1914 song by Johnnie Anderson and Jesse Smith: "I've Got the Weary Blues and Don't Know What To Do."
