lIFE IS FULL OF MISERY
         
       III
TEAES, SO MANY I CAN'T SEE

The lines, "Blues why don't you let me be", "Seems somehow we never can agree" and "Life goes by endlessly" belong in there somewhere.

I've formeed a new group named, "NEWPORT FOLK". It includes:
Barry Cowsill (from, "The Cowsills)
Paul Geremia
Jimmy McGrath (The Reprobates)
Jim, Bennet (The Reprobates)
Bill Lewis

We want to do this one in the studio tomorrow.

Here's what I found on the internet:

Blues stay away from me
Blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me

Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
Seems somehow
We never can agree

Life is full of misery
Dreams are like a memory
Bringing back
Your love that used to be

Tears so many I can't see
Years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by
And I still can't be free

It looks more like blues when you print it as 3-line stanzas.

Current publisher of this song is Carlin America, which has a rather nice website, from which I got all this information: (It also includes a sound sample.)

BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME
(Alton Delmore, Rabon Delmore [The Delmore Brothers], Wayne Raney, Henry Glover, 1949)

Blues, stay away from me.
Blues, why don't you let me be?
Don't know why you keep on haunting me.

Love was never meant for me.
True love was never meant for me.
Seems somehow we never can agree.

Life is full of misery.
Dreams are like a memory,
Bringing back your love that used to be.

Tears, so many I can't see.
Years don't mean a thing to me.
Time goes by and still I can't be free.

Verse one works well as a chorus as well.
