**************** MY BABY SINGS THE BLUES ***************
written by Max D. Barnes and Patsy Barnes
performed by Vern Gosdin.
Capo on the 4th fret.
Verse 1:
She could dance and she could sing
She left Texas with her dreams
She swore that she could make it on her own
Verse 2:
She was young and she was fine
She had looks and she had time
And the feelings of a woman fully grown
Verse 3:
She hit Nashville like a storm
As soft as she was warm
Knowin' she'd be discovered any day
Verse 4:
But the things she did the best
Was her overnight success
And the singing just got lost along the way
Chorus:
Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
Singing from bottom of her heart
Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark
Verse 5:
From a blessing to a curse
Things just went from bad to worse
Life at night worked out the way she planned
Verse 6:
And although her dreams were gone
She just couldn't go back home
To a town she knew that would not understand
Chorus(x2).
