World War 2 Blues

Performed by Al Russell Trio
Recorded March 1947
Written by Russell and Cowan

Say I've just got back from World War number 2
I've just got back from World War number 2
But it seems to me I still got some shootin' to do
My baby, my baby; she's been runnin' 'round
My baby, my baby; she's been runnin' 'round
I'm gonna take my German Luger
And blow that playhouse down
I've slept in foxholes, bombs land in my bed
I've slept in foxholes, bombs fallin' over my head
Now I come back home and find a bomb in my bed
Get out of there!

Say I could forgive her, I could if I would
I could forgive her, I could if I would
But I'm not gonna do that 'cause she's no darn good
No darn good
