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
