Lady sings the blues She's got them bad She feels so sad Wants the world to know Just what the blues is all about
Lady sings the blues She tells her side Nothing to hide Now the world will know Just what the blues is all about The blues aint' nothing but a pain in your heart When you get a bad start When you and your man have to part I ain't gonna just sit around and cry And now I won't die Because I love him
Lady sings the blues I'm telling you She's got em bad But now the world will know Shes never gonna sing them no more The blues aint' nothing but a pain in your heart When you get a bad start When you and your man have to part I ain't gonna just sit around and cry And now I won't die Because I love him
Lady sings the blues I'm telling you She's got em bad But now the world will know Shes never gonna sing them no more
My man don't love me Treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me Treats me awfully He's the, lowest man That I've ever see
He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you do things That you know is wrong
But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday
But you're so mean to me baby I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone...........
Away from the city that hurts and knocks, I'm standing alone by the desolate docks in the still and the chill of the night I see the horizon the great unknown my heart has an ache it's as heavy as stone with the dawn coming on, make it last
I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love Be coming back to me
I cover the waterfront In search of my love An I'm covered By a starlit sky above
Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Have you thought back time Will you remember Will you return
Will the one I love Be coming back To me............
