Am I Blue

I'm just a woman, a lonely woman

Waiting on a weary shore

I'm just a woman that's only human

One you should be sorry for

Got up this morning, along about dawn

Without a warning, I found he was gone

Why should he do it, how could he do it

He never done it before

Am I blue, am I blue

Aint these tears in these eyes telling you

Am I blue, you'd be too

If each plan with your man

Done fell through

Was a time

I was his only one

But now I'm the sad and lonely one...lordy

Was I gay, 'til today

Now he's gone, and we're through

Am I blue

He's in Chicago, he's in Chicago.

Now I'm down here in Birmingham.

Trying to get the money, to get to see my honey.

I am. Indeed, I am.

With the blues in my heart,

how my shoes want to start,

but I'm in a jam.

As blue as the sky blue.

All wondering why too, do these tears in these eyes telling you.

No one feels like I do.

Boo hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo

If each plan with your man

Done fell through

Was a time, I was his only, only, only one. But now I'm the sad and lonely one.

Lordy, was I gay. Oh Lord, was I gay--every day.

That man went away.

Now he's gone, and we're through. Am I blue.

That's all.
