Blues Stay Away From Me
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Don't know why you keep on haunting me
Life is full of misery, true love was never meant to be
Time goes by and still I can't be free.
--- Instrumental ---
Tears so many I can't see, years don't mean a thing to me
Seems somehow we never can agree
Blues stay away from me, blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep on haunting me...
