I lost a good woman, and I grieve both night and day 
I lost a good woman, and I grieve both night and day 
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away 
I'm so unhappy, mama, when I used to be so gay 
I'm so unhappy, baby, when I used to be so gay 
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away 
I watches the sun when it rises, until it fade away 
I watch the sun when it rises, until it fade away 
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away 
Yeah, boy! 
Just as long as I live, babe you will always hear me say 
Just as long as I live, mama, you will always hear me say 
I get the blues for my baby, ever since she been gone away
