| Some folks always seem to find the good things
|
| Other folks get mixed up with the bad
|
| Don’t ask me what I know about the good things
|
| The blues is all I ever had
|
| To some, the earth’s a world of friendly faces
|
| For those lucky few, I’m awful glad
|
| My world’s been a string of second places
|
| The blues is all I ever had
|
| When I first met him, I thought that maybe
|
| He could change this lonely life I led
|
| When he smiled and said, «I love you, baby»
|
| Silly girl, I b’lieved each word he said
|
| Guess it’s time for me to say «good bye"now
|
| Didn’t mean to leave you feelin' sad
|
| Since he’s gone, what is there left to try now?
|
| The blues is all I ever had |
