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 »

[Chorus]
Good mornin' blues, blues
How do ya do?
Good mornin' blues, blues
How do ya do?
Well, I'm doing all right this morning
How are you?

I woke up this morning
Couldn't get outta my bed
Oh, I woke up this mornin'
Couldn't get you outta my bed
Went to eat my breakfast and
The blues was all in my bread

[Chorus]

Well, the blues ain't nothing but a poor working man feeling down
Lord, the blues ain't nothing but a poor working man feeling down
That's about the meagerest feeling I done ever had

[Chorus]

Sent for you yesterday
Here you come walking today (hey)
I sent for you yesterday
Here you come walking today
Yeah, your mouth's wide open
You don't know what to say

(I say)
Good morning blues, blues
How do you do? (yo yeah)
Well, good morning blues, blues
How do you do? (oh yeah)
Well, I'm doin' all right, blues
How are you?
Yeah
