(Lee Vida Walker) Please don't be angry with me cause I've gone away I've told you about your mistakes But you didn't hear a word I said I'm so tired
(Leroy Carr) I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes It was a miserable
