A Stranger Called the Blues (Mono)

I met up with a stranger this evening

After you turned me down

A sad lookin' Joe who chased me all over town

But when you're feelin' lonely you welcome anyone

Who offers you a shoulder to use

So I'm makin' friends with a stranger called the blues

He was standin' behind me this evenin'

I guess he could hardly wait

For you to reveal the words that would seal my fate

He said he knew the score, he's been around before

When love has worn a hole in its shoes

So here I sit with a stranger called the blues

"B" is for the bitter tears I'm tasting

"L" is for the lonely nights I'll know

"U," you've found another heart to play with

"E" means I envy the so and so

So we ended a romance this evening

That bitter sweet charade

'Cause you, little fool, forgot every rule we made

To you our love became a stupid little game

No runs, no hits, one error, guess who's

When I wound up with a stranger called the blues

A travel ridden, good for nothin' stranger called the blues
