BLUES IN ADVANCE
(Neil Drummond)

as recorded by Dinah Shore
with Henri Rene's Orchestra & Chorus
1952


I get the blues as we dance,
I get the blues in advance,
For I know you'll be gone
And I'll be here all alone,
So I get the blues in advance!

Some get the blues from a song,
Some when love has come and gone.
You don't know how I cry
When you tell me goodbye;
I get the blues in advance!

As I think of our past romance,
I get the blues in advance.
There's no hope for me now,
You have changed so somehow,
So I get the blues in advance,
I get the blues in advance!
