Please Stop Playing Those Blues lyrics
Please Stop Playing Those Blues, Boys - Louis Armstrong
This is the same recording my friend Ron Bartnik had when we were in college.
The lyrics below are my take on the track from Blues For Yesterday.
You probably know that "Mr. Tea" is the renowned trombonist Jack Teagarden.
INTRO:
(Louis: No Mr. Tea, now don't start that stuff with me)
(Oh, you just want to get me all depressed..No now!)
VERSE:
Oh please stop playing those blues boy
Ease up on those minor keys
Just can't stand those blues boy
You bring back those old memories
That's the same old blues my baby sang to me
Before she ran off with a cat
Everybody said it was Mr. Tea
(Mr. Tea: But it wasn't me no it wasn't me, I was in Paris?)
Please stop playing those blues boy
Bring back those old memories
Solos
(Mr. Tea: I feel bad enough without you making me feel worse. Oh man I can't stand it no more, I'm gonna cry, woo, man, oh please stop)
(Mr. Tea sings this verse)
Please stop playing those blues boy
Can't you see you're bringin' me down
Just can't stand those blues boy
'Cause don't you know my baby's left town
Now I must admit, you play them mighty sweet
But when you're all alone, you know that jive ain't reet
So please stop playing those blues Louie boy
Can't you see you're bringin' me down

Where I guessed "I was in Paris", my wife says that's Louis responding "But that's what they said".
I never would have got the "jive ain't reet" bit when I was younger. I learned about "all reet" from a Dennis the Menace cartoon, Mr. Wilson was laying the slang from his day on young Dennis.
