Want you to hear me when I say 
that the blues is back, 
and it's here to stay. 

I wanna tell you a story, 
a story all about the blues. 
I want you to listen to me baby, 
while I sing it to you. 
Want you to hear me when I say 
that the blues is back, 
and it's here to stay. 

I used to have me somebody, 
she mean't the whole world to me. 
But she left me for someone else, 
left my heart in misery. 
Yes, she did! 
But I knew the day she left me 
that the blues was gonna be a part of me. 
Yes, it was. 

Since you left me with the blues, 
it was the last thing I thought I could use. 
But I'm glad that you left me, 
left me with the blues. 
If you hadn't given me the blues, 
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you. 

And I'm gonna tell you. 
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright. 
Hey, hey, the blues is allright. 
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright. 
Hey, hey, the blues is allright. 
Allright (allright), 
allright (allright), 
every day and night. 

Here we go Albert! 
One more time!
