My baby gives me love   As good as love can be   I just leave her crying   When the blues come over me      Up on a mountain   I'm drownin' in the sea   All the clocks say midnight   When the blues come over me      The blues come over me   I pack it up and go   The blues come over me   I catch the wind and blow      And some will take the wine   And some will take the night   When everything's all wrong   Then anything is all right      Some put in a song   And some sing it for their dues   Some go to sleep and wake up   Tangled in the blues      The blues come over me   I pack it up and go   The blues come over me   I catch the wind and blow      The blues come in a whisper   And make you scream and shout   And you'll do most anything   Just to let them out      I may think I'm happy   I may think I'm free   Nothing don't mean nothing   When the blues come over me      The blues come up behind   The blues wait up ahead   The blues ask why you are born   If you just end up dead      The blues come over me   I pack it up and go   The blues come over me   I catch the wind and blow      I may think I'm happy   I may think I'm free   Nothing don't mean nothing   When the blues come over me      The blues, talkin' about the blues   The blues, oh the blues, the blues   Talkin' about the blues   When the blues come over me      Talkin' about the blues, I have to go away   The blues, the blues   When the blues come over me   I have to pack up and go
