🎶 Track 8 — Joltin' Joe’s Jealousy (Deep Blues)


I’ve got the New York City blues
I’m in a downtown frame of mind
I watch the girl from up the stairs
Shake the morning from her hair
I like to go there from time to time

And when the midnight rain
Washes everything away
When the thunder rolls
And the blues begin to play
All my careless yesterdays are gone
Gone in the midnight rain

She’s someone else’s pretty thing
She let me have all I could steal
I didn’t care about right or wrong
I drank her wine, I sang her songs
And did my best to make it real

But when the midnight rain
Washes everything away
When the thunder rolls
And the blues begin to play
All my careless yesterdays are gone
Gone in the midnight rain

On the wrong side of tomorrow
When the wind begins to howl
When the two hands come together
Oh Lord, please don’t fail me now
Nothing lasts forever
Not the pleasure or the pain
And the last thing I remember
Is the sound of the midnight rain

I’ve got the New York City blues
Just like a million times before
I know it’s only memories
Ghosts of things that used to be
And I keep coming back for more

But when the midnight rain
Washes everything away
When the thunder rolls
And the blues begin to play
All my careless yesterdays are gone
Gone in the midnight rain
In the midnight rain
Listen to the midnight rain
Oh gone in the midnight rain

Tutti Frutti (Take 2)

Little Richard
