BLUE LOU
Edgar Sampson / Irving Mills

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Sy Oliver & his Orch  
Feb 13th 1953 New York


Blue Lou, blue Lou,
Her baby was such a phoney,
He left her blue and lonely!

Blue Lou, blue Lou,
So blue and broken hearted,
Before her romance got started!

Cryin', sighin' is all she ever do,
Forgettin' regrettin' the love she never knew!

So she's blue, true blue,
Until she discover her lover,
She'll always be Miss blue!

(scat)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, Lou,
Oh, she's so blue Lou!
Ooh, ooh, blue Lou,
(scat)

Oh blue Lou, blue Lou,
Her baby was such a phoney,
He left her blue and lonely!

Blue Lou, blue blue Lou,
True true, true true Lou,
So blue and broken hearted,
Before her romance got started!

Cryin', sighin' is all she ever do,
Forgettin' regrettin' the love she never knew!

So she's so blue, true blue,
Until she discover her lover,
She'll always be Miss blue!
She just wants love, pretty baby,
True blue Lou!
