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
A 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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
