Dancing my blues away
When I was a young boyI hear my Mama cryShe say my poor little darlingHe got tears in his eyesI say don't worry MamaI will get there one dayTill then I'm just dancing my blues away
She said your Papa's gone crazy'Cos he don't understandI say Mama I can't change it'Cos it's just the way I amYeah I was born in the north windIn a sky of freezing greyThat's why I'm dancing my blues away
Now the years have gone byBut there's still a burning flameYou and me togetherI know it's still the same
Now I got tears by the truck-loadI got a thousand broken heartsBut you'll always find me readyTo make a brand new start'Cos I found a secretSo the devil he can't stayI keep on dancing my blues away
