Blues in Advance

(Nell Drummond)



I get the blues as we dance

I get the blues in advance

For I know you'll be gone

and I'll be here alone

So I get the blues in advance.



Some get the blues from a song

Some when love has come and gone

You don't know how I cry

When you tell me goodbye

So I get the blues in advance.



--- Instrumental ---



As I think of our past romance

I get the blues in advance

There's no hope for me now

You will change dear, somehow

So I get the blues in advance...
