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

Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
And in the evenin' when the lights are low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a soul that's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die

Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin', in the evenin' when the lights are low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a soul that's bluer than blue can be
When I get, when I get, when I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
