A Blue, Blue Band

They come all the way from Virginia City, Nevada A blue, blue band They broke down once or twice in their blue van A blue, blue band And the mechanic said "I'll do my best to get you to your show on time." And when they pulled up to the club The crowd was ready to rub And the lights went all blue A blue, blue band A blue, blue band And they started to play a blue, blue song A blue, blue band A blue, blue band A blue, blue band The trumpet player Otis Makes a sound like a lotus A blue, blue band And on bass fiddle, Fritz Cooks it hotter than grits A blue, blue band (But don't take my word for it! Next time you feel like dancing Go see for yourself!) There's a tremendous harmonica player Whose name now escapes me A blue, blue band A blue, blue band And the singer, she's a ringer Her name is Belle A blue, blue band A blue, blue band A blue, blue band The clientele changes every so often A blue, blue band But whoever is playing turns the listener blue A blue, blue band Listen to them playing what's been weighing Heavy on your heart A blue, blue band A blue, blue band You feel a release in your body From the instant they start A blue, blue band A blue, blue band A blue, blue band
