You ain't been blue, no, no, no
You ain't been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh
Go 'long blues

I 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

'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

You ain't been blue
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feelin' that goes stealin' down
Way down to my shoes
While I just sit around and sigh
Go 'long blues
