Lyrics
You ain’t been blue, no, no, no
You ain’t been blue
Till you’ve had that mood indigo
That feelin’ goes stealin’ down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, “Go ‘long blues”
Refrain
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin’ when lights are low
I’m so lonesome I could cry
‘Cause there’s nobody who cares about me
I’m just a soul who’s bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
You ain’t been blue, no, no, no
You ain’t been blue
Till you’ve had that mood indigo
That feelin’ goes stealin’ down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, “Go ‘long blues”
