ANOTHER WAY TO SING THE BLUES

That's How I Learned to Sing the Blues
by H. Hipkins
as performed by Tim O'Brien

People ask me when I sing the blues
How did I learn what method did I use
Thought I would tell you how my friend
It's not the way I recommend
You find a good love and treat her wrong
Then be sorry 'bout it when she's gone
You'll say come back and she'll refuse
That's how I learned to sing the blues

Now people pay to hear me sing my songs
The mournful melody of love gone wrong
And while the blues has brought me wealth
I find I can't sing nothin' else
I lost a love I can't replace
With every line I sing I see her face
And though it's no the way I choose
That's how I learned to sing the blues

And at night
When other lovers hold their true loves tight
I hold another but it's just not right
It's only memories I crave
in the dawn
Just for a moment I forget you're gone
And reach to hold you in the cold gray light
But only find the feelings that I use to sing these blues

My advice while you have a choice
Is do some exercises with your voice
When you sing cry every word
Flat the seventh and the third
You can sound as if you're sad
Don't be a fool & treat your good love bad
You will gain more than you lose
That's how I learned to sing the blues
