Blues Stay Away From Me
by Alton Delmore, Rabon Delmore, Wayne Raney and Henry Grover
"About four
o'clock one morning in Cincinnati's Gibson Hotel, Alton
and Rabon Delmore and I were getting ready for a
recording session the next day. Alton knew a guitar riff
he had learned from Henry Grover, a black songwriter on
the King Records staff at the time. We decided to put
words to it and a song was born. We recorded it the next
day."
—Wayne Raney
Blues Stay Away From Me
Blues, stay away from me
Blues, why don't you let me be?
Don't know why you keep on haunting me.
Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never did agree.
Tears, so many I can't see
Years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free.
