2. Wellington Blues
2. Wellington Blues
When you're beside me, baby, the sun will never go down,
When you're beside me, baby, the sun will never go down,
But when I'm walkin' up Haining Street alone
I get those blues, baby, I get those Wellington blues.
On Friday night I got me a bottle of gin,
Came to your house, baby, they wouldn't let me in:
Saturday races, I had no money to lose,
I got those blues, baby, I got those Wellington blues.
Sunday morning early, you came up to my room,
Sunday morning early, you came up to my room,
Told me that you loved me, baby, helped me to lace my shoes,
Beat those blues, baby, beat those Wellington blues.
