Flyin' cross the desert in a TWA I saw a woman walkin' cross the sand. She'd been a walkin' thirty miles on route to LA. To get a brown eyed handsome man.
Blues in my heart oh how it aches nobody knows the sorrow it takes. I should have known right from the start. That you'd leave me with these blues in my heart.
It's been a blue blue day I feel like running away I feel like running away from it all. My love has been untrue she's found somebody new it's been a blue blue day for me.
I just pulled out of Minneapolis and I aimed my headlights south. Got the taste of cherry lipstick still a clinging to my mouth. She begged me not to leave her and she cried till I nearly stayed.
I've been thru a lotta states and a lotta towns most of them have different names. But you'll find the streets all run the same. Girls are a lot like this if you work it right and I do this well.
Who's that sneaking down the fire escape who's that peeking through the golden gate. Who's on the loose but can't be found Big Daddy's Alabama bound. Big Daddy's Alabama bound Big Daddy's Alabama bound.
He lied he cheated till he broke your heart. And you can't count the teardrops you've cried. He made you afraid to make a new start and that's why you've never tried.
On the Greyhound bus trip home I was feelin' all alone. When a long haired gal sat down next to me. She said she was Atlanta bound kill some time maybe kick around.
Now it's all in the family. I wish we can only hurt just you and me. Our little darlings will never understand. What's happened to a woman and the man.
You think you took her from me but I just gave her to you. I never wanted her much anyway all I ever wanted to do. Kiss her lips in the early morn hold her hands while the babies were born.
Alice it's a wonder that you haven't been called under. By the swift and angry current of the times. Alice it's surprising you're so warm and sympathizing.
You ought to see Mr Jones when he rattles the bones. Old Possum Brown dancin' round like a clown. Old aged Mama she's past eighty three shoutin' I'm full o'pep.
I'm burning the letters that I've kept from time to time. And I waited to see if she would call. I know that what she's doing's gonna make me lose my mind.
I love you, so much. Somewhere back in time. You became a friend of mine. And day by day we've grown a little closer. You're my spirit to be strong. A friend when things go wrong.
I like dreamin'. 'Cause dreamin' can make you mine. I like dreamin'. Closing my eyes and feeling fine. When the lights go down. I'm holding you so tight.
No one here can love or understand me. Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me. Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low. Bye, bye, blackbird.
Blue moon you saw me standing alone. Without a dream in my heart. Without a love of my own. Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for. You heard me saying a prayer for.
I don't know why I let go. I want to be your friend. Flowers grow through my window. And I love you again. . Oh, I love you, oh. When you laid me down.
