Mighty like the blues - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, Cootie Williams, Cootie Williams, Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

Oh, here’s the strange sensation that’s called the weep

I feel as low as the weepin' willow tree

And I believe I know what the trouble must be

Got a funny feelin' from my head down to my shoes

Don’t know what to call it, but it’s mighty like the blues

Want somebody’s friendship and it just don’t matter whose

Anyone can cheer you when you’re lonesome with the blues

I was full of the joy of spring

Now I’ve lost my faith in everything

Can’t believe he’s gone

But still I’m gonna spread the news

I’m through with love forever

'Cause it’s mighty like the blues
