I lost a good woman, and I grieve both night and day
I lost a good woman, and I grieve both night and day
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away

I'm so unhappy, mama, when I used to be so gay
I'm so unhappy, baby, when I used to be so gay
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away

I watches the sun when it rises, until it fade away
I watch the sun when it rises, until it fade away
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away

Yeah, boy!

Just as long as I live, babe you will always hear me say
Just as long as I live, mama, you will always hear me say
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away
