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.
