Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Gong-gong-gong-gong-gong-gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Gong, gong, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue, ha, blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
[Verse 1]
I wanna tell all you people
I dropped a penny in the well
Hoping you would come back soon
I couldn't believe what I heard
A fortune teller told me
My love with you was doomed
I hope her reading was wrong
I hope she was wrong
'Cause you been gone too long, come home
[PreChorus]
Hey, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Gong, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Gong, gong, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue, ha, blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
[Verse 2]
I can't sleep at night for thinking of you
Every night about two
My love for you comes tumblin' down
I can't stand being here alone
I start a-feelin' and a-fumblin'
But you ain't nowhere around
I hope her reading was wrong
I hope she was wrong
'Cause you been gone too long, come home
[PreChorus]
Hey, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Hey, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Gong, gong, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue, ha, blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Mm-mmm, yeah
[Outro]
I'm blue, doo-be, doo-be, doo-be-doo
Gong, gong, gong, gong, gong-gong-gong-gong, yeah
I'm blue...
