Learnin’ the Blues lyrics

[Trumpet solo: Louis Armstrong]

[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald]
The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning
Just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson
In learnin' the blues

[Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald]
The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won't help you forget him
And the way that you loved him
You're only burning
A torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learnin' the blues

[Bridge: Ella Fitzgerald]
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
[Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald]
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget him
Soon you even stop tryin'
You walk the floor
And wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin the blues

[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong]
Yes, the tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
And you play the same love song, whoa, yes
It's the tenth time you've heard it, yes
Man, it's the beginnin'
Just one of those cluessssss
You've had your first lesson, whoa, yes
In learnin' the blues

[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong]
Man, the cigarettes that you light, whoa, yes
One after another, tellin' me brother
Won't help you to forget her, whoa, no
And the way that you love her
You only burnin'
A torch that you can't lose, yeah
But you on the right tracks, brother, ha ha ha ha ha ha
For learnin' the blues, d'ya see that Ella?
[Bridge: Louis Armstrong]
Now looka here, when you at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly, yes
(Scat), and when you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memories, (scat)

[Verse 3: Louis Armstrong]
The nights when you don't sleep, yes, ha ha ha
The whole night you cryin'
But you can't forget her, oh yes
Soon you even stop tryin'
Man, you'll walk the floor
And wear out your shoesss
When you feel your heart break, yeah brother
That's when you're learnin the blues

[Bridge: Louis Armstrong with Ella scatting in background]
Yes, when you at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly, yes, (scat)
And when you're out in the crowds
The blues will haunt your memories, (scat)

[Verse 3: Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Both]
The nights when you don't sleep, hmmm, Ella
The whole night you're crying
Yeah, but you can't forget her
Soon you even stop tryin'
Yes man, you'll walk the floor, that's when it's rough
And wear out that last pair a' treaders, ha ha
When you feel your heart break, sorry Ella
You're learnin the blues
