by Jerome Kern, Left All Alone Again Blues (1920)
“ No women knows If she has a travlin' husband just where he goes Unless she follows on and nails him, trails him Just like a faithful old dog. That old song "Where has my Highland laddie gone" It says a mouthful We never do know Just where they do go How they keep us guessing Isn't it distressing! I have the blues When my hubby leaves, although I wouldn't accuse Each time he says "Good-Bye" I get those same old left all alone again blues. I have the blues Ever since he married me, I sure have the blues Because I used to have a good time, all time, Every time I might roam. ”
