My baby she's left me

My baby she's gone

My sweet little angel

Spread her wings and flown

I think of a reason

For going on

From this day, I will play, the blues

She said it was over

This time it's the end

Bad luck and trouble

Gonna be my only friend

I still can't believe it

After all we've been through

Everyday, I will play, the blues

Everybody, knows what the blues is all about

It's the pain you can't live with

It's the woman you can't live without

She came from Chicago

She read me the news

In the headlines, was a story, of the blues

They say a broken heart

Can always mend

That time is the healer

The sadness will end

Well I've done so much crying

When will I laugh again

Till that day, I will play, the blues

Everybody knows what the blues is all about

It's the pain you can't live with

It's the woman you can't live without

Could have cried me a river

When they told me the news

On that day, was a story, of the blues
