| Blue, blue, I got a tale to tell you, I’m blue
|
| Something comes over me, daddy, and I’m blue about you
|
| Listen to my story, and ev’rything’ll come out true
|
| When your man is gone, your rent is all due
|
| He’s not coming back, you know he’s all thru
|
| You weep and cry, feel like you could die
|
| If you was a bird you’d take wings and fly
|
| There is one thing that’ll make you blue
|
| When you ain’t got a daddy to tell your troubles to
|
| Step right out and sing, start right in to wing
|
| Keep feelin' in your heart, you start right in to drink
|
| If you’ve ever been blue, you know a woman feels
|
| If you’ve ever been blue, you know a good woman feels
|
| You’re a worried child, honey, yes indeed
|
| Blue, blue, I got a tale to tell you, I was blue
|
| Something fell on me, daddy, I was blue over you
|
| You done listen to my story, and ev’rything come out true |
