I woke up this morning, I couldn't hardly move
It ain't nothing but the blues
Doctor said that I should take a pill or two
It ain't nothing but the blues

When my baby left me, I thought that I would die
But I didn't
Everybody told me, that I'd get over her
But I didn't

I went to see a shrink, he said, lie here on this couch
Let me see what I can do
Several hours later, he said, there's no hope for you
It ain't nothing but the blues

I call my best friend just to pass the time of day
Cause I sure have got the blues
But there I find my baby dressed in her négligée
Now I've really got the blues

When my baby left me, I thought that I would die
But I didn't
Everybody told me, that I'd get over her
But I didn't

I sit here all alone, but I know why I feel this way
It ain't nothing but the blues
I'll get over her and I'll be alright someday
Cause it ain't nothing but the blues
It ain't nothing but the blues
It ain't nothing but the blues
