Oh the daydreams I can create
When the moonbeam is on the snowflake
And lonesome is my only friend.
Yeah I feel so forsaken,
Like the good times are on vacation,
And they ainâ??t cominâ?? home again.
Sitting here without her
I get to thinking about her
And you know that feeling just ainâ??t right
Sheâ??s in New York City
And Iâ??m stranded in self pity
Donâ??t you play no blues tonight
Solo
verse 2
â??Cause your guitar will get to cryinâ??
And Iâ??ll sure get to sighinâ??
From my hat down to my soul
Thereâ??s a favor you can do me
Donâ??t sing no sad songs to me
Oh â??cause buddy I already know
If my luck would change
Iâ??d catch myself an aeroplane
And Iâ??d leave you and these damned old blues behind
But sheâ??s in New York City
And Iâ??m stranded in self-pity
Donâ??t you play no blues tonight
Fiddle solo
Yeah sheâ??s in New York City
And Iâ??m stranded in self-pity
Donâ??t you sing no blues tonight
Yeah sheâ??s in New York City
And Iâ??m stranded in self-pity
Donâ??t you sing no blues tonight
Ending
Donâ??t you sing no blues
Donâ??t you sing no blues
Tonight
