Lyrics a Soulful Shade of Blue - Buffy Sainte-Marie

a Soulful Shade of Blue

Dressmaker, dressmaker
I’m singing at the hall next Saturday night and he’ll be there
He’s been gone for so long, I want him back again
Make me the sweetest dress you can
Make it a soulful shade of blue with a ribbon at the hem
A ribbon white for loyalty to show that I remember when
A soulful shade of blue looked into my eyes
And tell him I want him back again
Dressmaker, dressmaker
Don’t make it loud or bright, just make it a sweet and gentle style
Then maybe he’ll remember me it was not so long ago
I’ll miss his sweet and gentle smile
Make it a soulful shade of blue with a ribbon at the hem
A ribbon white for loyalty to show that I remember when
A soulful shade of blue looked into my eyes
And tell him I want him back again
Make it a soulful shade of blue
