Gulf Coast Blues(Take 1) - Mildred Bailey & Her Swing Band
Written by:Clarence Williams
I've been blue all day my man's gone away
He left his mama cold for another gal I'm told
I tried to treat him kind
And thought he would be mine
That man I hate to lose
That's why mama's got the blues
The man that I love he has left me in this town
The man I love has gone left me in this town
And if it keeps on snowing
I will be gulf coast bound
Mail man passed by
But he didn't leave me no news
The mail man passed by
But he didn't leave me no news
I'll tell the world
He left me cry those gulf coast blues
Ouch
These men up north honey sure do make me tired
These men up north they surely do make me tired
They've got a mouth full of gimme
And a handful of much obliged
Those way go right in the red shine got thing bright
Those way go right in the red shine got thing bright
I drive the walk down home by my little candle light
