No more blues I'm going back home No, no more blues I promise no more to roam Home is where the heart is The funny part is, my heart's been Right here all alone No more tears, and no more sighs No, no more fears- I'll say no more goodbye If travel beckons me, I swear I'm gonna refuse I'm gonna settle down, and there'll be no more blues Everyday while I am far away My thoughts turn homeward, forever homeward I've traveled round the world in search of happiness But all the happiness I've found Is in my hometown No more blues I'm going home No, no more blues I'm through with all my wandering now I'll settle down and never roam And find a man and build a home When we settle down, there'll be no more blues Nothing but happiness When we settle down, there'll be no more blues
This is actually a version (with different lyrycs) of the Brazilian Bossa Nova: "Chega de Saudade", by Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim. VERY NICE SINGER!!!!!!!
FYI......Grégoire Maret is an admired jazz harmonica player born on May 13, 1975 in Geneva, Switzerland. He began playing the harmonica at the age of 17. He bad! see bio on Wikipedia. Chromatic!
It's also in choro form. English lyrics written by Jon Hendricks. I'm starting to prefer this sung in English; not authentic, but it swings more, especially when song by someone like Sophie Milman.
