Blues shadows fallin'
Since my baby went away
Blues shadows fallin'
Since my baby went away
Hey, the blues is my companion
Every night and every day

Had the blues this morning
Since my baby said good-bye
Had the blues this morning
Since my baby said good-bye
I wish I could change her mind, people
But I know it's no use for me to try

Talk to me baby
If it's just by telephone
Talk to me baby
If it's just by telephone
Let me tell you how I miss you baby
And how it feels to be alone

Yes, if you got a good woman
You better take my advice
Yes, if you got a good woman
You better take my advice
You better treat her like an angel
And keep her at home at any price
