Without a warning The blues walked in this morning And circled rund my lonely room I didn't know why I had That sad and lonely feeling 'Till my baby called and said it's through Yesterday I sang a lovesong But today I sing the blues I know the explenation But that's no constellation No matter how your love You can lose And since I lost I rather walk around and worry I guess I've walked the darkest avenue Yesterday I sang a lovesong But today I sing the blues Now it strikes me kind of funny How life can be this way We were lovers last night honey But not in love today Now it strikes me kind of funny How faith can be unfair It seems that I'm the one To lose in every love affair Yes it must be written for me That I should be the one to always lose Yesterday I sang a lovesong But today I sing the blues Now it strikes me kind of funny How life can be this way We were lovers last night honey But not in love today Now it strikes me kind of funny How faith can be unfair It seems that I'm the one To lose in every love affair Yes it must be written for me That I should be the one to always lose Yesterday I sang a lovesong But today I sing the blues

Oh, there's no one there for me Since my baby's love had been done with All I do is think of you I sit and cry, oh and I sing the blues I sit and cry, and I sing the blues Oh, there's no one to call me sweet names And my heart, and my heart is filled with pain Lord I don't know, I don't know what to do I sit and cry and I sing the blues I sit and cry and I sing the blues Blues all in my bloodstream Blues all in my home Blues all in my soul I got blues all in my bones Oh no one to depend on Since my baby, since my baby's love had been gone Broken hearted and lonesome too I sit and cry and I sing the blues I sit and cry oh and I sing the blues I sit and cry I sit and I cry I sit and I cry I cry I cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, oh And I sing on, I sing on, I sing on the blues Oh, I sing on, I sing on Sing on the blues
