Lyrics:
Blues Madeleine Peyroux

Weary blues from waitin' Lord, I've been waitin' so long These blues have got me cryin' Oh, sweet daddy please come home The snow falls 'round my window

When I wasn't nothing but a child When I wasn't nothing but a child All you men tried to drive me wild Now I'm, now I'm growing old Now, now I'm growing

(Bessie Smith & Jack Gee) When I wasn't nothing but a child When I wasn't nothing but a child All you men tried to drive me wild Now I'm, now I'm growing

Translation: Peyroux, Madeleine. Weary Blues.

Translation: Peyroux, Madeleine. Reckless Blues.

(Bessie Smith & Jack Gee) When I wasn't nothing but a child When I wasn't nothing but a child All you men tried to drive me wild Now I'm, now I'm growing

: (Hank Williams Sr) Weary blues from waitin' Lord, I've been waitin' so long These blues have got me cryin' Oh, sweet daddy please come home The snow

Sue began to moan ?My sweetie went away But he didn't say where He didn't say when He didn't say why Without biddin' me goodbye Oh I'm blue as I can

Any way you turn is going to hurt There?s perfume burning in the air Bits of beauty everywhere Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt Blue Alert Blue
