WEST COAST BLUES
(Wes Montgomery (m) Sascha Burland (l) )

as recorded by Nancy Wilson
1964


I got a baby on the east coast,
I got a gig goin' on the west coast,
Suitcase full o' sorrow,
I'm so tired o' payin' travelin' dues!
Lonely in  the evenin',
No good make believin'
Anyone else could make me happy
Like my little darlin!
One o' these days
I'm gonna pack my bags and go way back home,
Where I can see my baby on the east coast,
I got the blues!

Like my little baby!

I'm gonna pack my bags and go way back home,
Where I can see my baby on the east coast,
