Biography:
Hurray for the Riff Raff is an Americana band from New Orleans, Louisiana. It was formed by Alynda Segarra, a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter from the Bronx, New York, after she had moved to New Orleans in 2007.
After leaving home at an early age to travel the country, Segarra eventually settled in New Orleans where she began to perform and record with a revolving cast of musicians. She released two records (2008's It Don't Mean I Don't Love You and 2010's Young Blood Blues) mostly consisting of delicate folk and country songs.

HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF - YOUNG BLOOD BLUES
[Intro]
C C C C (x4)
[Verse 1]
C
Stay out on the levee
Am
Watching the leaves roll by (?)
C
My heart was feeling heavy
Am
Did not know the reason why.
F C
I was crying for you
F C
Wherever you may be
F C
I was crying for you
F C
Because you once were me
[Verse 2]
C
My best friend in this whole world
Am
Is a man who’s dead and gone.
C
Now I’m bound to wander
Am
With nothing but his song.
F C
And he walked out of this world
F C
As lonely as he came
F C F C
You can rest assured you won’t see my man again.
[Chorus]
C G Am C
I’ve got the young blood blues
F C
They’re following me
G Am C
I’ve got the young blood blues
F C
They just won’t let me be.
[Verse 3]
C
I'm going back to New York
Am
I won't be back to stay
C
If you see my old friends
Am
Won't you tell them I'm still away
F C
Got heart ache like a river
F C
And it runs a muddy muck
F C
You could rest assure
F C
You won't see me for a long, long while
[Chorus]
C G Am C
I’ve got the young blood blues
F C
They’re following me
G Am C
I’ve got the young blood blues
F C
They just won’t let me be.
C G Am C
I’ve got the young blood blues
F C
They’re following me
G Am C
I’ve got the young blood blues

They just won’t let me be.
