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
