You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue, 
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes 
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues". 

Always get that mood indigo, 
Since my baby said goodbye. 
In the evenin' when lights are low, 
I'm so lonesome I could cry. 

'Cause there's nobody who cares about me, 
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be. 
When I get that mood indigo, 
I could lay me down and die.
