You ain't been blue

No, no, no

You ain't been blue

Till you've had that mood indigo

That feelin goes stealin down to my shoes

While i sit and sigh "go 'long, blues"

Always get that mood indigo

Since my baby said goodbye

In the evenin when lights are low

I'm so lonesome i could cry

'cause there's nobody who cares about me

I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be

When i get that mood indigo

I could lay me down and die
