Count Basie

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. His mother first taught him piano and he started performing in his teens. Dropping out of school, he learned to operate lights for vaudeville and improvised to accompany silent films at a local theatre in his town of Red Bank, New Jersey. By 16, he increasingly played jazz piano at parties, resorts and other venues. In 1924, he went to Harlem, where his performing career expanded; he toured with groups to the major jazz cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. In 1929 he joined Bennie Moten's band in Kansas City, and played with them until Moten's death in 1935. more »

Ain't no use, baby
I'm leaving the scene
Ain't no use, baby
You're too doggone mean

Yes, I'm tired of paying dues
Having the blues
Hitting bad news
Ain't no use, baby

Ain't no use, baby
I'm leaving town
Ain't no use, daddy
I'm putting you down

I'm gonna change my name
Things won't be the same
'Cause I'm tired of playing your game
Ain't no use, baby; I tell you, ain't no use

I tried all these years; Lord knows I've tried
Yes, and I cried deep down inside
But, daddy, why complain?
It's all over and you're to blame, yeah, yeah

Ain't no use, baby
Shed them tears
Ain't no use, baby
I cried for years, for too many years

You done had your fun

Ain't no use
Ain't no use
Ain't no use, daddy
Ain't no use
