The Blues Come Around

Once I was happy as I could be

But I let a gal make a fool of me

And ever since she let me down

The blues come around when the sun goes down

Oh the blues come a- round

Oh the blues come a- round Lawd

The blues come around

Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes down

As long as the sun is in the sky

These doggone blues never make me cry

But ever since she left this town

The blues come around when the sun goes down

I built my castles very high

And then she went and said goodbye

And ever since she tore 'em down

The blues come around when the sun goes down

Once she called me all her own

But now she's gone and I'm alone

And ever evenin' I'm sorrow bound

'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down
