Transcribed from Lena Horne with Orchestra Conducted by Lou Bring, from vocals by Lena Horne, recorded December 15, 1941.
From Lena Horne, L'Art Vocal, vol. 11. La Selection1935-1941; DK 025.

Blow, ill wind, blow away,
Let me rest today,
You're blowin' me no good,
No good.

Go, ill wind, go away,
Skies are oh, so gray,
Around my neighborhood,
And that's no good.

You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin',
Ain't it a shame! Lord, it's so hard,
To keep up with troubles that creep up from out of nowhere,
When love's to blame.

Go, ill wind, go away,
Let me rest today,
You're blowin' me no good,
No good,
No good.
