And just when every ray of hope was gone   I should have known that you would come along   I can't believe I ever doubted you   My old friend the blues      Another lonely night in a nameless town   If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around   'Cause I know I can always count on you   My old friend the blues      Lovers leave and friends will let you down   But you're the only sure thing that I've found   No matter what I do I'll never lose   My old friend the blues      Lovers leave and friends will let you down   But you're the only sure thing that I've found   No matter what I do I'll never lose   My old friend the blues      Just let me hide my weary heart in you   My old friend the blues
