Blue Blue

Blue Blue - Bessie Smith

Blue blue

I got a tale to tell you

I'm blue

Something comes over me

Daddy and I'm blue about you

Listen to my story

And everything'll come out true

When your man is gone

Your rent is all due

He's not coming back

You know he's all true

You weep and cry

Feel like you could die

If you was a bird

You'd take wings and fly

There is one thing

That'll make you blue blue

When you ain't got

A daddy to tell your troubles to

Step right out and sing

Start right in to wing

Keep feelin' in your heart

You start right in to drink

If you've ever been blue

You know a woman feels

If you've ever been blue

You know a good woman feels

You're a worried child

Honey yes indeed

Blue blue

I got a tale to tell you I was blue

Something fell on me

Daddy I was blue over you

You done listen to my story

And everything come out true
