PLAY ME A HURTIN' TUNE
(Sidney Lippman (m) Sylvia Dee (l) )

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Guy Lombardo & his Royal Canadians
October 22nd 1951


Play me a hurtin' tune,
I wan' an old time hurtin' tune.
Make me sigh,
Make me cry,
Make me wanna lay down and die!

Oh, play me a hurtin' tune,
A "tear your heart out" hurtin' tune.
Other true
Sweetheart who
Lost a lover and feel so blue!

I love those
"How could you be so cruel,
"Treatin' me like a fool?" songs.
I love those
"Now that I know we're through,
What am I gonna do?" songs.

Please play me a hurtin' tune,
I wan' an old time hurtin' tune.
Make me sad,
I'll be glad,
'Cause I feel so good when I feel so bad!

I love those
"How could you be so cruel,
"Treatin' me like a fool?" songs.
I love those
"Now that I know we're through,
What am I gonna do?" songs.

Please play me a hurtin' tune,
I wan' an old time hurtin' tune.
Make me sad,
I'll be glad,
'Cause I feel so good when I feel so bad!
