Duke Ellington - I Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues Lyrics

Artist: Duke Ellington

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Jazz

  • Songwriters: Edward Ellington, Larry Fotine, Don George

Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't go no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me, peppie
I can't get happy

Since my ever loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
