Strollin’

Lyrics

[Intro] Strolling While strolling through the park On a lovely but lonely afternoon Without a single thing on my mind and suddenly There he was standing right beside me I started dreaming He started scheming Things I never thought he'd do Now he tells me that we're through I just don't know what to do I'm all alone and oh so blue [Chorus] I'm strollin', I'm strollin' I don't know where I'm goin' but I'm strollin' I'm moaning, I'm moaning He left me for another and I'm moaning He said, "Honey, I'll never let you go Because I love you so" [Verse 1] He promised that he'd care for me But all I saw was misery I stayed at home each night alone He ran around, painted the town I've gone and let the blues get me down That's why I'm strollin' round [Trumpet Solo] [Chorus] All he wanted was my money, it's funny To think I'd live to see the day he'd shun me He's away and I pray Lord, please remove those clouds and make life sunny Because I've got the blues that I can't lose Tired strollin' round Play those blue notes on your sax please, Booker Ervin [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 2] He'd never take me to a show That old routine, he had no dough He'd stay home long enough to eat Dress up, then run out in the street You wondered why I feel the way I do Well, that's why I'm so blue [Chorus] Yes, those blues they got me strollin' and sighin' I'm talkin' to myself to keep from cryin' All alone, he won't phone I'm so darned miserable I feel like dyin' Oh yes, I've got the blues, so confused I just keep strollin' round I just keep strollin' I just keep strollin'
