have you heared the rumour   that's going around?   you got it made   way across town   it's the same old story   tell me where does it end?   yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again.      when I wrote you a letter   you must have read it wrong   I stood at your doorway   but you was gone   I took a lot of time   and let the telephone ring   it's the same old blues, the same old blues again.      I'm gonna find me a mountain   and I'm gonna hide out   I ain't talking to you   and I ain't yet coming out   cause I heard that rumour   tell me where does it end?   yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again.
