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 and sigh, "go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are low

I'm so lonesome 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
