I'm just a woman a lonely woman

Waiting on the weary shore

I'm just a woman who's only human

One you should be sorry for

I woke up this morning a long about dawn

Without a warning I found that he was gone

Why should he do it

How could he do it

He'd never done it before

Am I blue Am I blue

Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you

Am I blue

You would be too

If each plan with your man done fell through

Was a time I was his only one

But now I'm the sad and lonely one

Lordy

Was I gay 'til today

Now he's gone and we are through

Am I blue

He's in Chicago he's in Chicago

Now I'm down here in Birmingham

Trying to get some money

To get to see my honey

I am Indeed I am

With the blues in my heart

How my shoes want to start

But I'm in a jam

As blue as the sky blue

All wondering why too

These tears in these eyes telling you

No one feels like I do

Boo hoo boo-hoo boo-hoo

If each plan with your man

Done fell through

Was a time I was his only only only one

But now I'm the sad and lonely one

Lordy was I gay

Oh Lord was I gay 'til today

That man went away

Now he's gone and we're through

Am I blue
