The Ink Spots

 This is a rather obscure song.  Can't determine who wrote it and whether anyone
 ever charted it as a single in the Top 100.  Judging by the composition and the
 lyrics, I'd guess it is a 1930's-type jazz/blues number generally played by black
 musicians.  I found it on an Ink Spots 3-LP collection titled "The Best Of the Ink
 Spots" (Murray Hill label-Catalog # 897571. Unfortunately, there are no liner notes
 or writer credits included.


 I'm goin back home and get my ham bone boiled some more
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 I'm goin back home and get my ham bone boiled some more
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 'cause the way you cook for me, baby
 My stomach got sore
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)

 I'm goin' on the river and I'm not gonna take you along
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 I'm goin' on the river and I'm not gonna take you along
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 'cause I need somebody to help me sing this song
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)

 I may be blue but I won't be blue no more
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 I may be blue but I won't be blue no more
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 'cause when I come home, somebody's gotta go
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)

 Bye bye , baby, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 Bye bye bye, baby, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah)
 I said bye bye, baby, bye bye baby goodbye
 (choo-choo-ah, choo-choo-ah
