PUFF YOUR BLUES AWAY
From the short film "Puff Your Blues Away" (1931)


Lillian Roth (Film Soundtrack) - 1931



If you're the only one not having any fun
Then blame it all on yourself
As long as you have your health
What does it matter

Your troubles you will find are only in your mind
It's what you want them to be
It all depends on how you take it
Your life will be just what you make it

Roll your troubles into a cigarette
And puff your blues away
Like fading bubbles, your troubles you'll forget
And let them go astray

You'll see the new life, the true life
Through rings of smoke
And sorrows you feel that look real
Are just a joke, don't mind them

Roll your troubles into a cigarette
And puff your blues away

Roll your troubles into a cigarette
And puff your blues away
Like fading bubbles, your troubles you'll forget
Just let 'em go astray

You'll see a new life, a true life
Through rings of smoke
And sorrows you feel that look real
They're just a joke, don't mind 'em, mister

Roll your troubles into a cigarette
And puff, puff your blues away
