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?
