Blues stay away from me   Blues why don't you let me be   I don't know why you keep a-hauntin' me      True love was never meant for me   True love was never meant for me   It seems somehow we never can agree      My life is full of misery   And dreams are like a memory   They're bringing back your love that used to be      I got a teardrops so many I can't see   And years don't mean a thing to me   But time goes by and still I can't be free      Blues stay away from me   You hear me, blues why don't you let me be   I don't know why you keep a-haunting me      No, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me   Oh, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me
