West End Blues
Clarence Williams, King Oliver
Blues from my head to my shoes
I'm blue today
I've got a mean evil feeling
And I'm full of gin
On my way to the West End
And there's where troubles will begin
My man, my damn
Low-down, mean hound
In town with my best friend
Running around
Soon the undertaker man
Gonna knock upon his door
Folks in West End
Folks in West End
Gonna see some shootin'
Like they've never seen before
I mean my man and my best friend
Will never cheat in West End anymore
[Scatting]
Blues from my head to my shoes
So bluе today
I've still got that mean, low-down feeling
I'm gonna hear bad nеws
I'm on my way to the West End
To lose those ol' ugly West End Blues
Those West End Blues
