You ain't been blue
No, no, no . . .
You ain't been blue
'Till you had that mood indigo . . .
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes
While I sit an' sigh
Go 'long blues . . .
Always get the mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye . . .
In the evenin' when the lights are low
I'm so lonesome, I could die!
'Cause there's nobody
Who cares about me . . .
I'm just a fool
Who's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down an' die!
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes
While I sit an' sigh
Go 'long blues . . .
