Píseň: Little Girl Blue

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
My Kind Of Blues
No use old girl
 You might as well surrender
 Your hope is getting slender
 Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
 to cheer up little girl blue


 sit there and count your fingers
 What can you do?
 old girl you're through
 So sit there and count your little fingers
 Unlucky little girl blue, 'whoa'


 Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
 It's time you knew
 that all, all you count is the raindrops
 that's falling on
 Little blue girl


 No use old girl
 You might as well surrender
 Your hope is getting slender
 Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
 to cheer up little girl blue
