Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos.

Blues stay away from me.
Blues why don't you let me be.
Don't know why you keep on haunting me.

Love was never meant for me.
True love was never meant for me.
Seems somehow we never can agree.

Life is full of misery.
Dreams are like memories,
Bringing back the love that used to be.

Tears, so many I can't see.
Years don't mean a thing to me.
As time goes by and still I can't be free.
