Story of the Blues

My baby she's left me My baby she's gone My sweet little angel Spread her wings and flown I think of a reason For going on From this day, I will play the blues She said it was over This time it's the end Bad luck and trouble Gonna be my only friend I still can't believe it After all we've been through Everyday, I will play the blues Everybody knows what the blues is all about It's a pain you can't live with It's a woman you can't live without She came from chicago She read me the news In the headlines was a story of the blues They say a broken heart Can always mend That time is the healer The sadness will end Well, I've done so much crying When will I laugh again Till that day, I will play the blues Everybody knows what the blues is all about It's a pain you can't live with It's a woman you can't live wihout Could have cried me a river When they told me the news On that day was a story of the blues
