Am I Blue?

Am I Blue? - Ethel Waters/Duke Ellington (艾靈頓公爵)

I'm just a woman a lonely woman

Waiting on the weary shore

I'm just a woman that's only human

One you should feel sorry for

Woke up this morning a long about dawn

Without a warning I found he was gone

How could he do it why should he do it

He never done it before

Am I blue am I blue

Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you

Am I blue

Why you be too

If each plan with your man

Done fell through

There was a time

When I was his only one

But now I'm the sad and lonely one lonely

Was I gay until today

Now he's gone and we're through

Am I blue

I know it he's in Chicago

And I'm down here in Birmingham

Trying to get the money to going find my honey

I am yes indeed I am

I've got the blues in my heart

And my shoes want to start

Yet I'm in a jam

A terrible jam

Oh don't ask me in my blue

Why do you ask me in my blue

Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you

Again you ask me in my blue

Why wouldn't you be too

If each plan with your man

Have done fell through

Don't know remember the time

When I was this only one

By looking at me now I am

The sad and lonely one

Oh get now I used to be gay until today

Oh let me through long in my blue
