Leave Me Alone With the Blues

Better pack up your suitcase and leave in a hurry

Now I don't wanna show you the door

Since the day that we met you've been nothin' but trouble

Now I don't want you here anymore.



Run along, run along, don't pester me further

For I know that you'll never be true

If you can't treat me right then get out of my life

Go and leave me alone with the blues.



Oh, you stayed by my side till you got all my money

Now my clothes are all ragged and torn

Since the day that we met you've been nothin' but worry

Lord, I wish I had never been born.



Run along, run along, don't you pester me further

I know that you'll never be true

If you can't treat me right then get out of my life

Go and leave me alone with these blues.



You may ramble and ramble this whole wide world over

But don't trust any woman you meet

They won't leave you alone till they've got your last dollar

Then you're just like the dirt beneath their feet.



Run along, run along, don't you pester me further

For I know that you'll never be true

If you can't treat me right then get out of my life

Go and leave me alone with these blues...
