(Hank Williams)

Once I was happy as I could be
But I let a gal make a fool of me
Ever since she let me down the blues come around
When the sun goes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Yeah, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evening when the sun goes down.

Long as the sun is in the sky
Those doggone blues never make me cry
Ever since she left this town
The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Yeah, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evening when the sun goes down.

--- Instrumental ---

I built my castles very high
And then she waved and said goodbye
Ever since she tore 'em down
The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Yeah, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evening when the sun goes down.

Yeah, the blues come around
Every evening when the sun goes down...
