I lost a good woman and I grieve both night and day   I lost a good woman and I grieve both night and day   I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away   I'm so unhappy, mama, when I used to be so gay      I'm so unhappy, baby, when I used to be so gay   I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away   I watches the sun when it rises until it fade away   I watch the sun when it rises until it fade away      I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away   Yeah, boy, just as long as I live, babe, you will always hear me say   Just as long as I live, mama, you will always hear me say   I get the blues for my baby ever since she been gone away
