Lyrics
- I don’t worry when the blues come stealing
I know how to cure them right away
Anytime I get that lonesome feeling
I call up my sweetie and I say
Chorus
Red lips kiss my blues away
Red lips kiss the night to day
Any old-time that you come cuddl’ing near
Isn’t it strange the way the blues disappear?
Red lips hold them close to mine
Sweetheart don’t delay
Come make a dozen trips
Let your red ruby lips
Kiss my blues away
- All day long her telephone keeps ringing
Other boys have the blues just like my own
Here’s the song she always hears them singing
Every time that she picks up the phone
