The blues,
the blues ain't,
the blues ain't nothin',
the blues ain't nothin' but a cold grey day,
and all night long it stays that way.
Ain't somethin' that leaves you alone,
ain't nothin' I want to call my own,
ain't somethin' with sense enough to get up and go,
ain't nothin' like nothin' I know.
The blues,
the blues don't,
the blues don't know,
the blues don't know nobody as a friend,
ain't been nowhere where they're welcome back again,
low, ugly, mean blues.
The blues ain't somethin' that you sing in rhyme,
the blues ain't nothin' but a dark cloud markin' time,
the blues is a one-way ticket from your love to nowhere,
the blues ain't nothin' but a black crape veil ready to wear.
Sighin',
cryin',
feels most like dyin'.
The blues ain't nothin',
the blues ain't,
the blues.
Written by: Duke Ellington
