Lyrics
Chorus
I’m all alone every night
How I moan and how I fight
Those big city blues
I walk for miles place to place
No-one smiles to help me chase
Those big city blues
I’m like a little tot
Who needs a lot of tenderness and care
All I’ve got is just a lot
Of sorrow and despair
Won’t someone please
Talk to me, don’t refuse
Hear my plea and help me lose
Those big city blues
Patter
Each evening at six P. M.
Lights light and I look at them
I’m hoping that some nice person
Will meet me, greet me
Before I know it it’s twelve o’clock
I feel like jumping right off a dock
Because I haven’t found a person
To cheer me, dear me,
No one ever comes near me
