You ain't been blue, no, no, no;
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down, down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "So long, blues."
I always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said, "Goodbye."
And 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 as blue as blue can be.
I always get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die.
You ain't been blue, no, no, no;
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down, down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "So long, blues."
