Fitzgerald, Ella - Learnin' The Blues Lyrics






The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted.
You play the same love song - it's the 10th time you've heard it.
That's the beginning, just one of the clues.
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues.

The cigarettes you light, one after another,
Won't help you forget her, and the way that you love her.
You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose.
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues.

When you're at home alone,
The blues will taunt you constantly.
When you're out in a crowd,
The blues will haunt your memory.

The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're crying.
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying.
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes.
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues.

When you're at home alone,
The blues will taunt you constantly.
When you're out in a crowd,
Those blues will haunt your memory.

The nights when you don't sleep, that whole night you're crying.
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying.
You'll walk the floor, and you'll wear out your shoes.
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' those blues.

Fitzgerald, Ella Learnin' The Blues Comments
  1. a.... d....

    Y el blues es lo más.
    De tan magnífico.Yo ni idea lo que dicen las letras y está perfecto para mí.
    Es decir que nadie me explique lo que yo ya sé.
    De ahí me gusta,supongo,escuchar lo bueno por su sonoridad.

  2. �.... ....

    예술입니다~~~~~😎😍😘😗

  3. q.... z....

    74 people just couldn't handle the truth...

  4. c.... j....

    q buena melodia endulza mis oidos

  5. B.... ....

    Please come comfort me miss,

  6. J.... W....

    Ella's perfect as ever. And Louis' warmth is infectious.

  7. g.... ,....

    Louis has the worst voice I’ve ever had the displeasure of hearing. It’s obnoxious, offensive, like sandpaper to my eardrums.
    I don’t know what the hell y’all are hearing

  8. S.... ....

    Why is Luis chuckling in every line? Heh

  9. A.... M....

    This is real music, real class!

  10. D.... H....

    Simply the example of excellence by which all popular musicians should be measured. I know it isn’t a fair comparison but every time I see an insipid article about how “brave” a pop star is for posting a bikini picture in spite of their cellulite I want to scream. Just think of he obstacles jazz artists of color (racism and discrimination for example) had to live with and they handled that with such class and modesty.

  11. l.... k....

    She's singing to me!

  12. E.... L....

    I upgraded my custom gaming pc to the best with a complete set of Razer accessories just to listen to Vintage songs! And those beautiful RGB lightings are for night lights. This music sound great with my Razer Leviathan Elite! Filling up my room with a beautiful sense of vintage!

    E.... L....

    Good for you!

  13. D.... P....

    deux monstres sacré du Blues & du Jazz ils ont partagés de nombreux titres tout les deux magnifique entente entre eux deux aussi bien soit du Jazz que du Blues leurs voix s'écoutent toujours avec passion la magie fonctionne admirable ses deux interprètes

  14. t.... ....

    4:06 does not look like them at all. Impersonators?

  15. K.... ....

    Geniuses!! =)<3:*

  16. J.... B....

    Ella bakes the cake . Sinatra puts the icing

  17. s.... a....

    Я русский и мне нравиться етот исполнитель

  18. T.... ....

    Bop de dop de Zip!

  19. A.... W....

    Diese Musik wird man auch in 100 Jahren noch toll finden... unerreicht...

  20. V.... B....

    EXQUISITE ...!!!! 2019 ... The LEGENDS live on ....never to die !!!! ..Remembering Ella on her death anniv 15th June 1996 ...Her voice will live forever ...

  21. C.... B....

    Two of the biggest Stars of my parents, sadly long gone.
    My parents as well as those stars.
    Yet their presence is still felt.
    And I still play the same music and learn the same songs on my guitar.

    C.... B....

    May God bless their souls and you days filled with health and happiness, if not, with this music ❤️

  22. T.... J....

    love it

  23. C.... S....

    I wonder if Louis Armstrong knew he was launching an entire era of music that would become jazz... ever evolving with the times. Maybe he knew, hence the reason for his constant and beautiful smile!

    C.... S....

    he wasn't

  24. D.... M....

    One of my life goals is to keep this music alive in the 21st century. Learnin' The Blues is one of the songs I performed recently at a singing gig, and you can watch highlights of that at https://youtu.be/DwbklUO8eF8. I may not be as good as the great singers of yesteryear, but we need more people keeping this music alive, so if you could watch and subscribe, I would really appreciate it folks!

  25. L.... K....

    Best Iconic Collaboration Ever, Period.

  26. R.... A....

    Very good is fantastic

  27. W.... W....

    j'adore <3

    Ella is the Greatest. Louis is a master with the jazz tune.

  34. A.... C....

    Aparece uma foto onde aparece um "Louis" e uma "Ella", mas não é nenhum dos dois! se parecem, mas não é!!! rsrsrsrsr

  35. J.... ....

    50 years before auto-tune? No problem.

    J.... ....

    Singers like Ella Fitzgerald don't need auto-tune. She's a SINGER not a faker...

  36. 5.... ....

    I have heard a many improvised versions of BLUES SONG, but this is the first time I could make out the song from the jam. It is nice to know what the song sounds like; Though, I like hearing the musicians exercise their instruments; IT IS NICE TO LEARN WHAT THE SONG ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE.

    There are people who were born to marry others.
    There are people who were born to live with others.

    And there are pepole who were born to sing togheter. That´s the case of Ella and Louis.
