Fitzgerald, Ella - I Was Doing All Right Lyrics






I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by.

But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now.

But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tinglin' all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better
Better than ever now.

Fitzgerald, Ella I Was Doing All Right Comments
  1. M.... S....

    Oh..how I love this song! I was raised with this wonderful music! I remember the words from childhood with my mother, a Lyric Soprano, singing with Ella!! My father ""acquired"" my Mother""s 78''s of this beautiful song...and others!!..Heaven only knows where they all are now.. It is almost too painful to listen to...

  2. R.... H....

    I heard Dexter Gordon and Freddie Hubbard masterfully slay this song, and wanted to hear what the words were from Ella's gifted instrument.

  3. H.... J....

    Fantastisch. Just got the musical score but still miss the words. No problem, must be somewhere on the internet

    Actually, this was recorded in January of 1938 and it is Ella Fitzgerald and Her Savoy Eight, a small group of the great Chick Webb Band ( I have the Cd and all of Ella's early recordings before 1948.). Her early voice and style has a clarity and freedom not found in her big band recordings after 1939..
