I Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

(Duke Ellington/Don George)

Ain′t got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain′t go no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Ain′t got no coffee that′s perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain′t got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothin′ but the blues


When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me pappy
I can′t get happy
Since my ever loving baby left town

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain′t got no telephone numbers
I ain′t got nothin' but the blues
