New Orleans All Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've come to say goodbye,
Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues.
Those farewell blues make me yearn,
That parting kiss seems to burn.
Farewell, dearie, Someday I will return.
Dreaming of you is sweet,
Someday again we'll meet.
The lyrics of "Farewell Blues" by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings speak of a departing lover who is saying their goodbyes. The song begins with the singer sighing and expressing their sadness at leaving, but they know that they must go. The farewell blues that the singer feels are a mix of yearning and burning pain from the kiss that they shared with their lover before departing. The goodbye is not permanent, but only a temporary farewell, as the singer dreams of reuniting with their love. The song speaks of the deep emotional feelings that leaving someone special can inspire and the longing for the day when they might be reunited.

Shaye Cohn plays piano! This woman is a superstar! ❤️😊
Wish more people would just enjoy the gig and put their cellphones away.

I think Shaye is a classically trained pianist.

Wow, who would ever thought that we would see Shaye playing piano on a version of King of the Road! There is no end to this girls talent! I must admit that the longer the concert went on the more I enjoyed it

They are all fine musicians that understand real ensemble playing. Here they sound as a high society band, and that is meant as a compliment.
And Norbert as band leader let everybody shine. Im glad I came over this band. Almost all the musicians are band leaders in their own right.
