A traditional, 12-bar blues for the New Year

————

New Year’s loomin’

Midnight hour’s countin’ down

New Year’s loomin’, baby

The midnight hour is countin’ down

I’m lookin’ back, darlin’

Old Year Blues are comin’ ‘round

Springtime’s passions

Had all withered by the fall

Springtime’s blooomin’ passions

Had all withered by the fall

Winter’s cold, baby

Ain’t no love left here at all

Lyin’, cheatin’

Playin’ all my foolish games

I done you wrong, baby

And I’ve just myself to blame

New Year’s loomin’

Midnight hour’s countin’ down

New Year’s loomin’ darlin’

The midnight hour is countin’ down

I know we’re over, baby

And Old Year Blues are comin’ ‘round

Time has come, darlin’

For us to go our separate ways

Auld Lang Syne, baby

As we face our New Year’s Day

New Year’s turnin’

And you’re off to start anew

New Year’s turnin’, darlin’

You’re leaving me to start anew

Happy New Year, baby

And hello, you Old Year Blues

Old Year Blues (repeat, fade)
