I got a letter this morning
Made me sad and blue
Said my woman's in trouble
You know I'm in trouble too
That's why I'm so lonesome
Lord and I stay blue all the time
Ah but that's all right
I will [bad word] some day

I couldn't do nothing
'Cause I was sad and blue
I know there's some' wrong with my baby
And it hurts me too
That's why I'm so lonesome
And I stay blue all the time
Yeah but that's all right
I will [bad word] some day

Nights are so lonesome
Days are so blue
Just sittin' [bad word]  my hands baby
Wonderin' what happened to you
That's why I'm so lonesome
Lord and I stay blue all the time
Yeah but that's all right
I will [bad word] some day
