Blue River - Bix Beiderbecke

Tell me why your song is sad never glad

Blue River Blue River

Do you hold the memory

Of a vanished dream

Sing to me of lips

I've pressed and caressed

Blue River Blue River

Till I saw my hopes

Go drifting down your stream

Can we both forget the cry

Summer night in a little canoe

When her blue eyes lost their light

As we whispered adieu

When I hear your lonesome song

And know something's wrong

Blue River Blue River

Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you
