Travellin' Blues - Carmen McRae I've travelled across the country I've sung with lots of bands I've played in those big cities That book those one-night stands I'm lonely and I'm weary I know the scene so well The blues have come to get me And to drag me down to hell But I keep travelling What have I got to lose I keep travelling Unravelling all my blues I check into a hotel And then forget its name; Yes I could ask but oh well Aren't all hotels the same Sink into the mattress Pray God my soul to keep; The blues are in the street Cries that haunt my troubles sleep But I keep travelling What have I got to lose I just keep on Unravelling all my blues I wake up every morning Wonder where I'm at; I look into the mirror And ask myself "Who's that " I left behind a good man A face I can't recall And yet I love my old man Or no man's been love at all But I keep on travelling What have I got to lose Just keep on travelling Unravelling all my blues I know the blues confuse me Hold me in their trap; They meet me and they lose me While round ny brain they wrap A web of lonely journeys All spun from evil thread That twist and turn and tangle me Until my soul is dead Ooh-oo-oo but I keep travelling What have I got to lose I just keep travelling Trying to lose all my blues
