Meet Me Where They Play the Blues - Maxine Sullivan, Jack Teagarden

I got a heart that’s broken hearted, how do I mend it?

I got a crying jag you started, how do I end it?

But if you’re feeling gloomy

Come a-running to me

Meet me where they play the blues

People have said they’ve seen you dance in hideaway places

People have said you find romance in other embraces

But if your mood is dreamy

And you care to see me

Meet me where they play the blues

Eyes that flirt with a tear

Are common round here

And misery loves company, they say

So they linger 'til dawn

While the trumpet wails on

Hopin' you’ll happen this way

I’m getting' tired of sippin' wine and watchin' it bubble

How did our dreams get out of line and wind up in trouble?

But, honey, if you’re learnin'

There’s a flame still burnin'

Meet me where they play the blues

I’m getting' tired of sippin' wine and watchin' it bubble

How did our dreams get out of line and wind up in trouble?

But, honey, if you’re learnin'

There’s a flame still burnin'

Meet me where they play

You’ll find me any day

So meet me where they play the blues
