I found the lyrics to Peggy Lee's version at Rabid Squirrel's Jazz Archive
http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/newbonham/6/index.htm . This fox trot was
also done by Woody Herman And His Orchestra.


Blue Prelude - Peggy Lee
- written by Joe Bishop and Gordon Jenkins

Let me sigh, let me cry when I'm blue
Let me go away from this lonely town
Won't be long till my song here is through
Cause I know I'm on my last go-round

All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Cannot heal all the pain in my soul
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal?

Here I go now, you know why I'm leaving
I got the blues, what can I lose? Goodbye

Here I go now, you know why I'm leaving
I got the blues, what can I lose? Goodbye

Adieu
To you
Goodbye

Blue Prelude
Gordon Jenkins, Joe Bishop

Let me sigh, let me cry when I'm blue,
Let me go away from this lonely town,
Won't be long till my sun will be blue,
Cos I know I'm on my last go round.
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow,
Wouldn't heal all the pain in my soul.

What is love? Only a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal,
Here I go - Now you know why I'm leaving.
Got the blues. What can I lose? Goodbye!

What is love? Only a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal,
Here I go - Now you know why I'm leaving.
I got the blues. What can I lose? Goodbye!

peace, Gunnar
