You Don't See Into The Blues Like Me (1926)
Lonnie Johnson · Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 1-(1925-26) [1991]
Ah, people, you don't see into the blues like me.
Ahhhhh, you don't see into the blues like me.
I can see further into the blues, than a fish can in the deep blue sea.
I worked for you sweet woman, when the snow was above my knees.
I worked for you sweet woman, when there was snow above my knees.
And now the worst you can do for me, that is the best for me.
I'm a man like this, I don't throw stone for stone.
I'm a man like this, I don't throw stone for stone.
Every woman in this world 's, bound to miss the good man when he's gone.
