Thread Name: Lyr Add: Am I Blue (from Ethel Waters)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Am I Blue
Going over the last part of the Ethel Waters recording again-
Yet I'm In a jam- a terrible jam.
Oh, don't ask me am I blue Why do you ask me am I blue? Can't you see with these eyes telling you. How can you ask me am I blue? Why, wouldn't you be too, If each plan with your man had done fell through. And now I remember the time when I was his only one. But look at me now, I'm the sad and lonely one. Oh, didn't I used to be gay, Oh, 'til today, Oh, I miss you now, Am I blue.
My wife (from Georgia) suggested the next-to-last line. Any more suggestions?
