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.
