When I was a young boy
I hear my Mama cry
She say my poor little darling
He got tears in his eyes
I say don't worry Mama
I will get there one day
Till then I'm just dancing my blues away
She said your Papa's gone crazy
'Cos he don't understand
I say Mama I can't change it
'Cos it's just the way I am
Yeah I was born in the north wind
In a sky of freezing grey
That's why I'm dancing my blues away
Now the years have gone by
But there's still a burning flame
You and me together
I know it's still the same
Now I got tears by the truck-load
I got a thousand broken hearts
But you'll always find me ready
To make a brand new start
'Cos I found a secret
So the devil he can't stay
I keep on dancing my blues away
