DOO DAH BLUES
(Fred Rose / Eddie White, 1922)


What will become of me what will become of me something
it's plain to see is wrong with me yes wrong with me I'm
always sighing I'm always crying Sad am I here's the reason
why Just only yesterday my sweetie went away I thought
t'was all in play but when I heard her say "Doo Dah, good-bye
to you Doo Dah, that means that I'm thru." Oh! Lordy

You've heard my tale of woe and now I know you know just
why I'm worried so Yes worried so and flurried so I loved
her only that's why I'm lonely and I miss most of all her kiss
maybe if she could see Just what she did to me sorry perhaps
she'd be and set my poor heart free but I suppose she's thru
there's nothing else I can do.

Oh! those Doo Dah Blues I want to lose those Doo Dah Blues
for all night long till early dawn they seem to come and never
leave me Lordy but they grieve me Do they, they do I'll say
they do Oh! I know those Doo Dah Blues will sure refuse
poor me to lose I've got 'em now and oh! some how I know that
if you'd had 'em you'd a long to lose the Doo Dah Blues.
