Letra

Alone and lonesome and feelin' sad
I never knew I could feel so bad
I'm tired of waitin' for just one call
For once I'm thinkin' I'll end it all payin' dues
'Cause the blues got me down for the count
I could be phony and laugh and clown
And give my troubles the run-around
And go for dancin' and play a game
It might be better, but just the same I refuse
'Cause the blues got me down for the count
(Don't mind, be happy)
Well, I would if the blues wasn't crampin' my style
(Hold tight and be happy)
If I should, would the blues leave me be for a while?
(Don't fight, just be happy)
Wish I could, but the blues have a fit when I smile
Don't mention sadness, Pig
Here's a bit you should know
Yes, you love her so
I know, I know that you love her so
But what you don't know is this
Your kind of love is the kind women never miss
I'm headed for ruin
'Cause that's what the blues are doin' to me
Since they got me down
There ain't any hope to be found
Can't get up, can't let up wearin' this frown
You gotta enjoy 'em
Or else you'll find
When you make 'em, you can't shake 'em
Ain't any peace in your mind
So, cheer up, my friend
And try and pretend
That these blues will end
I'm down for the count
