Don't Blame Me (song)

"Don't Blame Me" is a popular song with music by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The song was part of the 1932 show Clowns in Clover. It was published in 1933. It became a #21 hit for Nat King Cole in 1948.[1]

The song received two significant "rock era" remakes: a mellow ballad version by the Everly Brothers, released by Warner Bros.
