(J.J. Cale)

Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around

My baby's got a man, lord way across town

Its the same old story

Tell me where will it end

Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again



Well I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong

Stood at the doorway and baby you was gone

Took a lot of courage

To let the telephone ring

I got the same old blues, same old blues again



Well you gave me the business, though I didn't mind

'Cause I got a lot of patience, Lord got a lot of time

Its the same old story

Tell me where will it end

I got the same old blues, same old blues again

Here come my blues



Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out

Ain't talkin' to you babe, Lord I ain't comin' back

Well I heard that rumor, tell where will it end

I got the same old blues, same old blues again



Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around

My baby's got a man, lord way across town

Its the same old story

Tell me where will this end

Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again

I got the same old blues, same old blues again



I got the blues... same old blues
