My baby she left me

My baby she's gone

My sweet little angel has spread

Her wings and flown

Can't 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 a pain you can't live with

It's a 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

Time is the healer and sadness will end

But 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 a pain you can't live with

It's a 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
