"Wabash Blues" (Isham Jones, 1921)

Two million sales of this record in 1921 cemented Isham Jones's niche in the musical pantheon of the early Twenties.

The song has been recorded many times since with Dave Ringle's fine lyrics, but no performance has been so popular as this Jones instrumental.

WABASH BLUES
(Fred Meinken, music; Dave Ringle, words)

Let me to lose those Wabash Blues.

A lonesome soul am I
I feel that I could cry
I've got to lose
Those Wabash blues.

I know I got my dues
Yes, I'll pack my walking shoes
I've got to lose
Those Wabash Blues.

--- Instrumental ---

(Got the blues, the Wabash blues
Got the blues, the Wabash blues
Got the blues, the Wabash blues
Got the blues, the Wabash blues.)

Yes, I'll pack my walking shoes
I've got to lose
Those Wabash Blues...
