Now, when I was a young boy
I hear mama cry
She say, "My poor little darling
He got tears in his eyes"
I say, "Don't worry, mama
I will get there one day
Till then I'm just dancing
My blues away"
Yeah, I keep on dancing
My blues away
She say, "Your papa's gone crazy
Cause he just don't understand"
I say, "Mama, I can't change it
Cause it's just the way am"
Yeah, I was born in the north wind
In a sky of freezing grey
That's why I'm dancing
My blues away
Yeah, I keep on dancing
My blues away
Now the years have gone by
But there's still a burning flame
Ah, you and me together
I know it's still the same
Oh, I'm dancing
Now I got tears by the truck-load
I got a thousand broken hearts
But you'll always find me ready
To make a brand new start
Cause I found a secret
So the devil, he can't stay
I keep on dancing
My blues away
Yeah, I keep on dancing
My blues away
My blues away
Yeah, yeah
I keep on dancing
Hope that nothing get in my way
I keep on dancing
I keep on dancing
My blues away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I keep on dancing
My blues away
I keep on
I keep on dancing
My blues away
Yeah, yeah
I'm dancing my blues away
I keep on
I keep on
My blues away
