Miss Blues's Child

Written By Langston Hughes

If the blues would let me,
L-rd knows I would smile.
If the blues would let me,
I would smile, smile, smile.
Instead of that I am cryin'
I must be Miss Blues's child.

You were my moon up in the sky
At night time my wishing star.
I love you, oh, I love you so
But you have gone so far!
Now my days are lonely,
And night-time drives me wild.
In my heart I'm crying,
I'm just Miss Blues's child!
