Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow/Blue
BLUE
STANDIN' at de winder, Feelin' kind o' glum,Listenin' to de raindrops Play de kettle drum,Lookin' crost de medders Swimmin' lak a sea;Lawd 'a' mussy on us, What's de good o' me?
Can't go out a-hoein', Wouldn't ef I could;Groun' too wet fu' huntin', Fishin' ain't no good.Too much noise fo' sleepin', No one hyeah to chat;Des mus' stan' an' listen To dat pit-a-pat.
Hills is gittin' misty, Valley's gittin' dahk;Watch-dog's 'mence a-howlin', Rathah have 'em ba'kDan a-moanin' solemn Somewhaih out o' sight;Rain-crow des a-chucklin'— Dis is his delight.
Mandy, bring my banjo, Bring de chillen in,Come in f'om de kitchen, I feel sick ez sin.Call in Uncle Isaac, Call Aunt Hannah, too,Tain't no use in talkin', Chile, I's sholy blue.
