Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me (1919)

A popular song from 1919. Words and music by Charles McCarron, Casey Morgan & Arthur Swanstrom. Lyrics 1. What is that song about kisses What is that song about smiles If I could have my way, I’d sing a song today That would beat them all by miles I wouldn’t sing about smiling That’s not the title I’d choose I would sing about what I’ve got And what I’ve got’s the weary blues Chorus There are blues that you get from worry There are blues that you get from pain And there are blues when you’re lonely For your one and only The blues you can never explain There are blues that you get from longing But the bluest blues that be Are the sort of blues that’s on my mind They’re the very meanest kind The blues my naughty sweetie gives to me 2. No use in chasing those rainbows Rainbows will never help you They look so bright and gay, But they will fade away Then you’ll find the sky’s all blue Look at the ocean and that’s blue
