Well, I was born a blue melody
A little song, my mama sang to me
It was a blue melody
Sailing far away from me

Well, there ain't no wealth
That can buy my pride
And there ain't no pain
That can cleanse my soul
No, just a blue melody
Calling far away to me

One summer morning
I was raised but I don't know
One summer morning
I was left but I don't know
One summer morning, so alone

Late in the evening
I'll sing in your dream
And down from the mountain
Along with the breezes
So close inside
Our love grew smiles

So if you hear my blue melody
Oh, honey, won't you please
Send it home to me
It was a blue melody
Sailing far away from me
