I was hopin you'd be gone   Tonight when I got home   What are you still waiting for   You're probably thinking that   She won't like it where's she's at   And she'll come knocking on my door   I used to believe that too   But I don't anymore      So go away, blues don't hang around   She's gone, let me love again somehow   I've tried, but I could not make her stay   So be like her and go away      Well, here we are again   My old foul-weather friend   Not much left to talk about   We've cried and shared some laughs   Reminiscing this and that   But it all seems so tiresome now    You've been good company   But you wore your welcome thin      So go away, blues don't hang around   She's gone, let me love again somehow   I've tried, but I could not make her stay   So be like her and go away
