I'LL CHASE THE BLUES AWAY
Edgar Sampson / Ken Harrison

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Chick Webb & his Orch  
1935 New York


I'll chase the blues away,
I'll laugh and sing all day,
I've found my lover,
Someone who'll be true.
Some bluebirds in a tree
Will sing their song to me,
Or they'll discover
I'm no longer blue.

I've travelled far
In search of someone like you,
For what you are
Is a dream that I prayed would soon come true.

I'll chase the blues away,
I'll print some news today,
I've found my lover,
Someone who would be true.
