SINGER: The Ink Spots

SONG:Blues

Bluesthe ink spotsthis is a rather obscure song. can't determine who wrote it and whether anyone ever charted it as a single in the top 100. judging by the composition and the lyrics, i'd guess it is a 1930's-type jazz/blues number generally played by black musicians. i found it on an ink spots 3-lp collection titled "the best of the ink spots" (murray hill label-catalog # 897571. unfortunately, there are no liner notes or writer credits included.i'm goin back home and get my ham bone boiled some more (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)i'm goin back home and get my ham bone boiled some more (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)'cause the way you cook for me, babymy stomach got sore(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)i'm goin' on the river and i'm not gonna take you along(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)i'm goin' on the river and i'm not gonna take you along(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)'cause i need somebody to help me sing this song (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)<lengthy instrumental>i may be blue but i won't be blue no more(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)i may be blue but i won't be blue no more(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)'cause when i come home, somebody's gotta go(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)bye bye , baby, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)bye bye bye, baby, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)i said bye bye, baby, bye bye baby goodbye(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
