Shirley Horn Some of My Best Friends Are the Blues song lyrics

Come in & join the party….we're running out of cheer

Don't be too surprised

if you don't find another soul in here

They say that people judge you …

by the company you choose

Well some of my best friends are the blues

I'm sitting in my rocker…but I just don't feel at home

When misery is your company…

you'd be better off if you're all alone

I been walking round in circles-

since I got my walking shoes

Some of my very best friends are the blues

I say the blues come & go…without warning

You must excuse them

if they're not what you call polite

But they butter my bread almost every morning

The blues are all around me…got the blues everywhere Right now the blues surround me….

I got blues with blues to spare

I know my daddy left me…they came & brought the news

Some of my best friends are the blues

Some of my best are the blues
