Always get that Mood Indigo
Since my baby said "Good-Bye".
In the evening, when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Ain't got nobody who cares about me.
I'm just as lonesome as a body can be.
When I get that Mood Indigo,
I just wanna lay down and die.
You ain't been blue
No, No, No !
You ain't been blue
'Till you've had that Mood Indigo.
That feelin' that goes reelin' down to your shoes,
While I sit & sigh "Go 'long Blues!"
