The Ink Spots
This is a rather obscure song. Can't determine who wrote it and whether anyone
ever charted it as a single in the Top 100. Judging by the composition and the
lyrics, I'd guess it is a 1930's-type jazz/blues number generally played by black
musicians. I found it on an Ink Spots 3-LP collection titled "The Best Of the Ink
Spots" (Murray Hill label-Catalog # 897571. Unfortunately, there are no liner notes
or writer credits included.
I'm goin back home and get my ham bone boiled some more
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
I'm goin back home and get my ham bone boiled some more
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
'cause the way you cook for me, baby
My stomach got sore
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
I'm goin' on the river and I'm not gonna take you along
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
I'm goin' on the river and I'm not gonna take you along
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
'cause I need somebody to help me sing this song
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
I may be blue but I won't be blue no more
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
I may be blue but I won't be blue no more
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
'cause when I come home, somebody's gotta go
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
Bye bye , baby, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
Bye bye bye, baby, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
I said bye bye, baby, bye bye baby goodbye
(choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
