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
