Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
All the birds flew south for the winter
Left me these lonesome blues
My baby left me
Hitched a train down south
My baby left me
Hitched a train down south
I still taste his kisses
Like candy in my mouth
I wish I had wings
Just like an aeroplane
I wish I had wings
Just like an aeroplane
Fly down, find my baby
And never be lonesome again
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
Some blues are just blues
Mine are the lonesome blues
All the birds flew south for the winter
Left me these lonesome blues
