Want you to hear me when I say
that the blues is back,
and it's here to stay.

I wanna tell you a story,
a story all about the blues.
I want you to listen to me baby,
while I sing it to you.
Want you to hear me when I say
that the blues is back,
and it's here to stay.

I used to have me somebody,
she mean't the whole world to me.
But she left me for someone else,
left my heart in misery.
Yes, she did!
But I knew the day she left me
that the blues was gonna be a part of me.
Yes, it was.

Since you left me with the blues,
it was the last thing I thought I could use.
But I'm glad that you left me,
left me with the blues.
If you hadn't given me the blues,
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you.

And I'm gonna tell you.
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright.
Hey, hey, the blues is allright.
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright.
Hey, hey, the blues is allright.
Allright , allright
Allright , allright
every day and night.

Here we go Albert!
One more time!
