When I was a young boy I hear my Mama cry She say my poor little darling He got tears in his eyes I say don't worry Mama I will get there one day Till then I'm just dancing my blues away
She said your Papa's gone crazy 'Cos he don't understand I say Mama I can't change it 'Cos it's just the way am Yeah I was born in the north wind In a sky of freezing grey That's why I'm dancing my blues away
Now the years have gone by But there's still a burning flame You and me together I know it's still the same
Now I got tears by the truck-load I got a thousand broken hearts But you'll always find me ready To make a brand new start 'Cos I found a secret So the devil he can't stay I keep on dancing my blues away.
