Some blues are just blues Mine are the lonesome blues Some blues are just blues Mine are the lonesome blues All the birds flew south for the winter Left me these lonesome blues My baby left me Hitched a train down south My baby left me Hitched a train down south I still taste his kisses Like candy in my mouth I wish I had wings Just like an aeroplane I wish I had wings Just like an aeroplane Fly down, find my baby And never be lonesome again Some blues are just blues Mine are the lonesome blues Some blues are just blues Mine are the lonesome blues All the birds flew south for the winter Left me these lonesome blues All the birds flew south for the winter Left me these lonesome blues
