Today I Sing the Blues

(Columbia Version)

Without a word of warnin'

The blues walked in this mornin'

And circled 'round my lonely room



I didn't know why I had that sad

'n lonely feelin'

Until my baby called

and said we're through, hooo.



For yesterday this time

I sang a love song but today

... I'm singing the blues.



Hmmmm...



Strikes me kinda funny

How love can be this way

we were lovers last night honey, yeah.

But I'm alone again today



and it strikes me kinda funny

how fate can be unfair

I come out on the losin' end

in every, every love affair!



Yes it must be, it must be written for me

that I should be the one,

be the one to always lose, hooo.



For yesterday

yesterday this time

I sing a love song whoaoohhh!

But right now - I'm singin the blues

Who-o-oh ye-he-heah
