I Gotta Sing Away These Blues

My sweet man's left me

And I've got a torch I must lose

I may have to die some

And surely I'll cry some

But I've gotta sing away these blues



It's heartbreak time now

And so it's a sad song I choose

You may find it dreary

But, Lord, I'm so weary

I've gotta sing away these blues



I thought my road was certain

He was mine, he was mine, he was mine

But then fate rang down the curtain

And all I have left is a heart that's bereft



And now it's over

And I'm still payin' love's dues

My heart was a glad thing

That turned into sad thing

I've gotta sing away these blues



Yes, I've gotta sing away these blues

These blu-u-u-u-es
