Blues Stay Away From Me

Donald Christopher 'Chris' Barber (born 17 April 1930, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England) is best known as a jazz trombonist. As well as scoring a UK top twenty trad jazz hit, he helped the careers of many musicians, notably the blues singer Ottilie Patterson, who was at one time his wife, and vocalist/banjoist Lonnie Donegan, whose appearances with Barber triggered the skiffle craze of the mid 1950s and who had his first transatlantic hit, "Rock Island Line", while with Chris Barber's band. His providing an audience for Donegan and, later, Alexis Korner makes Barber a significant figure in the British rhythm and blues and "beat boom" of the 1960s. more »

Blues stay away from me
Uh-uh-uh, blues why don't you let me be
I don't know why you keep a-haunting me

True love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
It seems somehow we never can agree

My life is full of misery
And dreams are like a memory,
they're bringing back your love that used to be

I got teardrops so many I can't see
And years don't mean a thing to me
But time goes by and still I can't be free

Uh-uh-uh, blues stay away from me,
You hear me, blues why don't you let me be,
I don't know why you keep a-haunting me,
No, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me,
Oh, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me
