Señor Blues (Silver)

'Señor Blues' is a jazz standard composed by pianist Horace Silver. 

It was first recorded by Silver's quintet on November 10, 1956.

Lyrics were added later by HORACE SILVER in 1958:

Senor Blues is what they call him, way down Mexicali way.
Senoritas fallin' for him, with the hope that he will stay. 

By the time that they love him, Senor Blues done/has gone away!

Well, he's tall and good lookin', and he always knows just what to say! 

Yes, he's tall and good lookin', and he always knows just what to say!
By the time that they love him, Senor Blues done/has gone away! 

I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
I'm a wanderin', wanderin' guy, with no one gal to lay my head by. 

Oooooooh, I'm so tired and lonely and blue,

'Cause the one gal I love won't be true!
Got the blues and it's all 'cause of you (2x)

Recordings exist by Horace Silver with Bill Henderson (1958), Jeri Southern, Chris Connor, Anita O'Day, Mark Murphy, Judy Roberts, Taj Mahal, Giacomo Gates, Karin Krog, Genie Walker, Mark Winkler & Cheryl Bentyne, etc
