My baby she left me my baby she's gone My sweet little angel 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 the time is the healer and sadness will end But I've done so much crying when I will 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 use cried me a river when they told me the news On that day was a story of the blues
