My baby she left me, my baby she's gone.
  My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.
  Can't think of a reason for going on.
  >From this day I will play the blues.
    She said it was over, this time it's the end.
  Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend.
  I still can't believe it, after all we've been through.
  Everyday I will play the blues.
    Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
  It's a pain you can't live with.
  It's a woman you can't live without.
  She came from Chicago.
  She read me the news.
  In the headlines was a story of the blues.
    They say a broken heart can always mend.
  Time is the healer and sadness will end.
  But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again?
  Till that day I will play the blues.
    Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
  It's a pain you can't live with.
  It's a woman you can't live without.
  Could have cried me a river
  when they told me the news.
  On that day was a story of the blues.
