|
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman |
|
Waiting on a weary shore |
|
I'm just a woman that's only human |
|
One you should be sorry for |
|
Got up this morning, along about dawn |
|
Without a warning, I found he was gone |
|
Why should he do it, how could he do it |
|
He never done it before |
|
Am I blue, am I blue |
|
Aint these tears in these eyes telling you |
|
Am I blue, you'd be too |
|
If each plan with your man |
|
Done fell through |
|
Was a time |
|
I was his only one |
|
But now I'm the sad and lonely one...lordy |
|
Was I gay, 'til today |
|
Now he's gone, and we're through |
|
Am I blue |
|
He's in Chicago, he's in Chicago. |
|
Now I'm down here in Birmingham. |
|
Trying to get the money, to get to see my honey. |
|
I am. Indeed, I am. |
|
With the blues in my heart, |
|
how my shoes want to start, |
|
but I'm in a jam. |
|
As blue as the sky blue. |
|
All wondering why too, do these tears in these eyes telling you. |
|
No one feels like I do. |
|
Boo hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo |
|
If each plan with your man |
|
Done fell through |
|
Was a time, I was his only, only, only one. But now I'm the sad and lonely one. |
|
Lordy, was I gay. Oh Lord, was I gay--every day. |
|
That man went away. |
|
Now he's gone, and we're through. Am I blue. |
|
That's all. |
