A Nighttingale Can Sing the Blues |
| Got my lesson learned |
| Guess that I was born to lose |
| Take it straight from me |
| Love is misery, listen while I sing the blues |
| Ain’t it a shame |
| He had to go and grieve me |
| Some other dame |
| Has made him up to leave me |
| That’s how it happens |
| A nightingale can sing the blues |
| I’ll put it straight |
| He’s got his self a new bird |
| Gave me the gate |
| And now I’m just a blue bird |
| That’s how it happens |
| A nightingale can sing the blues |
| He can take me and forsake me |
| Just as quick as that |
| When there’s someone new in town |
| But I’m bettin', he’ll be frettin' |
| For his old job back |
| When his brand new lady love has let him down |
| You take my word |
| There ain’t no use a-preachin' |
| I got a bird who’s gonna get some teachin' |
| Then he’ll discover |
| A nightingale can sing the blues |
| That’s how it happens |
| A nightingale can sing the blues |
