Lonnie Johnson - Don't Blame Her (1947) Lyrics

1946 have come, babe but now it's gone.
1946 have come, babe but now it's gone.
I wanna leave with you people, '46 did not go so long.

So many people, who done passed away.
So many people, who done passed away.
But 1946 mama, sure have made its day.

Some people had lots of fun, so many people lost their mind.
Some people had lots of fun, so many of them lost their mind.
Some people went to the big house, just to serve a long, long time.

Old year have come an' gone, new year have just arrived.
Old year have come an' gone, new year have just arrived.
But I hope it won't be just like the year has just passed by.
