Lyrics

[Chorus]
You ain't been blue
No, no, no
You ain't been blue
Till you've had that mood indigo
That feeling
Goes stealing down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh
"Go 'long, blues"
[Verse 1]
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when the lights are low
I'm so lonely I could cry
[Verse 2]
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
[Verse 3]
You ain't been blue
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
You ain't never been blue
Till you've had that mood indigo
[Chorus]
That feeling
That goes stealing down
Way down to my shoes
While I just sit around and sigh
"Go
Long
Blues"
