Louis Jordan Roamin Blues Lyrics

Roamin Blues Lyrics

Left Chicago in the summer, New York in the fall,

Detroit in the winter
didn't prove a thing at all

I got those roamin' blues

Yes I got
those roamin' blues

Can't find no place to settle

Woo I got those
roamin' blues



Joined a club in old Saint Louis, that G.I. free
loot club

Stood in line so long man, wore my legs down to a nub

I
hit the road again

Yes I hit the road again

Can't find no place to
settle

So I hit the road again



I thought I'd made it Jack in
good old Albuquerq'

I was on the wrong track, you know they tried to make
me work

- ain't that a killer?

I hit the road right quick

Yes
that judge was much too slick

Can't find no place to settle

Woo I
hit the road right quick



Then Las Vegas was the next stop, that
fast town left me weak

The dice man made twelve passes and I was up the
well-known creek

Those gamblers put me down

Yes I had to walk right
out of town

Mm-mm, that ain't no place to settle

Mmm, I had to walk
right out of town



Ah but I hit the greatest town of all, Frantic
Frisco

Got me a gal with plenty gold and she just won't let me go

I
think I've found a place

Yes I got my boots all laced

Found me a
home, don't have to roam, it's good news,

I've lost those roamin' blues
