I lost a good woman and I grieve both night and day
I lost a good woman and I grieve both night and day
I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away
I'm so unhappy, mama, when I used to be so gay

I'm so unhappy, baby, when I used to be so gay
I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away
I watches the sun when it rises until it fade away
I watch the sun when it rises until it fade away

I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away
Yeah, boy, just as long as I live, babe, you will always hear me say
Just as long as I live, mama, you will always hear me say
I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away
