I don't want no opera
No cha-cha, no mambo
My baby's gone and left me
And I'm feelin' mighty low
Mr. Pianoman
Play me some down-home blues
It's a story that's old
And can only be told with the blues
Let your left hand tell my misery
Your right hand tell my pain
Since he left, he took the sunshine
Left me standin' here in the rain
Mr. Pianoman
Play me some down-home blues
Let me seat here and groove
'Cause I'm just in the mood for the blues
Mr. Pianoman
Now you know how it feels
Uhh, ooh, uh
Mr. Pianoman
You know his love was real, uh, yes, you do
When a lover fear a friend
Then, the woman's best friend is the blues
Ooh, Mr. Pianoman
Play me some down-home blues
