Am I Blue

I'm just a woman, a lonely woman Waiting on a weary shore I'm just a woman that's only human One you should be sorry for Got up this morning, along about dawn Without a warning, I found he was gone Why should he do it, how could he do it He never done it before Am I blue, am I blue Aint these tears in these eyes telling you Am I blue, you'd be too If each plan with your man Done fell through Was a time I was his only one But now I'm the sad and lonely one... lordy Was I gay, 'til today Now he's gone, and we're through Am I blue He's in Chicago, he's in Chicago. Now I'm down here in Birmingham. Trying to get the money, to get to see my honey. I am. Indeed, I am. With the blues in my heart, How my shoes want to start, But I'm in a jam. As blue as the sky blue. All wondering why too, do these tears in these eyes telling you. No one feels like I do. Boo hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo If each plan with your man Done fell through Was a time, I was his only, only, only one. But now I'm the sad and lonely one. Lordy, was I gay. Oh Lord, was I gay--every day. That man went away. Now he's gone, and we're through. Am I blue. That's all.
