Blues In Berlin

Performed by Josh White
Recorded 1943
Written by Josh White

Now my Fuehrer done told me when I was in Munich
My Fuehrer done told me, huns
A Russian will fall back and give you the East front
But when the winter snow comes
A Russian's a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the Blues in Berlin

Now the bombs are fallin'
Hear the blitz a-callin'
Goerring, oh where's the Luftwaffe
We ain't got you booties
All we got is cooties
Goebbels, oh type us some black plague
Der wehrmacht, Der wehrmacht
Hey, clickety-clack
It's echo and back with the Blues in Berlin
Now from Kiev to Lubin
Smolensk to [?]
Where the Panzers go
I done taken some big towns
Done made me some big talk
Here is one thing I know
A Russian's a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the Blues in Berlin
Now a Russian will cause Hitler to sing
The Blues--the Fuehrer was right
It's the Blues in Berlin
