Dust My Blues

by Elmore James / Joe Josea


I'm gonna get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my blues
Gonna get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my blues
I gotta leave my baby, I ain't got no time to lose

I don't want no woman, that'll treat me wrong all the time
I don't want no woman, that'll treat me wrong all the time
Well I'm tired of the way she treats me, 'cause I'm about to lose my mind

I'm gonna write a letter, I better send her a telegram
I'm gonna write a letter, I better send her a telegram
She left me soon this morning, and she's got me in an awfull jam

I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I gotta leave my baby, I gotta leave my hapy home



(I) Done Somebody Wrong

by Elmore James / Bobby Robinson / Clarence Lewis
recording of early 1960

The bell just toned, my baby done caught that train and gone
Yes, the bell just toned, my baby done caught that train and gone
It's all my fault, I must have done somebody wrong, oh yeah

Everything that happened, you know I am to blame
Everything that's happened, you know I am to blame
I'm gonna find me a doctor, maybe my luck will change, oh yeah

My mother told me these days would surely come,
but I, wouldn't listen to her, said, "I gotta have some fun"
Aah, I must-a did somebody wrong,
uuh, it's all my fault, I must-a did somebody wrong

The Sky Is Crying

by Elmore James / Clarence Lewis / Bobby Robinson
recording of November 1959, Chicago
from Charly Blues Masterworks Vol. 12 - Elmore James,
The Sky Is Crying (Charly Records CD BM 12), copyright notice


The sky is cryin', look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is cryin', look at the tears roll down the street
I'm wadin' in tears lookin' for my baby,
and I wonder, where can she be?

I saw my baby one mornin', and she was walkin' on down the street
I saw my baby one mornin', and she was walkin' on down the street
Made me feel so good,
until my poor heart would skip a beat

I got a bad feelin', my baby, my baby don't love me no more
I got a bad feelin', my baby don't love me no more
Now, the sky's been cryin',
the tears rollin' down my nose
