Song sung blue, everybody knows one

Song sung blue, every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then

But when ya take the blues and make a song

Ya sing 'em out again

Song sung blue, weepin' like a willow

Song sung blue, sleepin' on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice

And before you know, it starts to feelin' good

Ya simply got no choice

(Song sung blue), everybody knows one

(Song sung blue), every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then

But when ya take the blues and make a song

Ya sing 'em out again

(Song sung blue), weepin' like a willow

(Song sung blue), sleepin' on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice

And before you know, it starts to feelin' good

Ya simply got no choice
