| Once I was happy as I could be
|
| But I let a gal make a fool of me
|
| And ever since she let me down
|
| The blues come around when the sun goes down
|
| Oh, the blues come around
|
| Oh the blues come around
|
| Lawd, the blues come around
|
| Ev’ry evenin' when the sun goes down
|
| As long as the sun is in the sky
|
| These doggone blues never make me cry
|
| But ever since she left this town
|
| The blues come around when the sun goes down
|
| Oh, the blues come around
|
| Oh the blues come around
|
| Lawd, the blues come around
|
| Ev’ry evenin' when the sun goes down
|
| I built my castles very high
|
| And then she went and said goodbye
|
| And ever since she tore 'em down
|
| The blues come around when the sun goes down
|
| Oh, the blues come around
|
| Oh the blues come around
|
| Lawd, the blues come around
|
| Ev’ry evenin' when the sun goes down
|
| Once she called me all her own
|
| But now she’s gone and I’m alone
|
| And ever evenin' I’m sorrow bound
|
| Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down
|
| Oh, the blues come around
|
| Oh the blues come around
|
| Lawd, the blues come around
|
| Ev’ry evenin' when the sun goes down |
