The Wang Wang Blues Lyrics

I got the bluest blues (He's got the bluest blues)
I'm just as blue as can be (He's got the blues)
Just got the awful news (He's got some awful news)
My sweetie sweet has left me (She left him flat)
I love her so (He loves her so)
And now I know (And now he knows)
This awful blow (That awful blow)
Will lay me low (Will lay him low)
Oh Lordy, Lord, what she did to me (Lord, what she did to he)
I'm just as sad as can be (Oh, sad is he)

I got those Wang Wang blues (He's got the blues)
Those awful Wang Wang blues (Those dirty blues)
Oh brother I never knew I'd be so blue
Until she went away (Oh, mercy me)
I got those Wang Wang Blues (As blue as blue)
Those lonesome Wang Wang Blues (So sad and blue)
I wish my sweet sweetie would come back
And chase away those Wang Wang Blues

An expanded version of the groundbreaking racially integrated Benny Goodman Quartet, chiefly notable for incorporating pioneering electric guitarist Charlie Christian. This made it the first group in American jazz to give a guitar solo instrument space since the very different-sounding and much quieter handful of 1920s groups to use the acoustic instrument. Christian's progressive tendencies also meant the group foreshadowed bebop. Read more on Last.fm.
