Cotton Pickers, 1929-1930, The Chronological Classics, 625.
I'm so blue, I don't know what to
do,
All night long, I seem to say to
you,
I did wrong when I let you go away,
Now I dream about you night and
day,
I'll be happy if I had you by my
side,
I'd be happy if I knew you were
my bride.
If I could be with you one hour
tonight,
And free to do the things I might,
I want you to know
That you couldn't go,
Until I showed you that I loved
you so.
If I could be with you I'd love
you strong,
If I could be with you I'd love
you all night long,
I'm telling you true,
You'd be anything but blue,
If I could be with you for just
one hour,
If I could be with you!
If I could be with you one hour
tonight,
And free to do the things I might,
I want you to know
That you couldn't go...
[Scats]
If I could be with you I'd love
you strong,
If I could be with you I'd love
you all night long,
I'm telling you true,
You'd be anything but blue,
If I could be with you just for
one hour,
If I could be with you!
