i got the same old blues

have you heard that rumour that's going around

you got it made

way across town

it's the same old story

tell me where does it end

yes

i heard the news

it's the same old blues again

when i wrote you a letter

you must have read it wrong

i stood at your doorway

but you was gone

i took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring

it's the same old blues

same old blues again

when you give me the business

you know i get a mind

'cause i've got a lot of patience and i've got a lot of time

it's the same old story

tell me where does it end

it's the same old blues

same old blues again

i'm gonna find me a mountain

i'm gonna hide out

i ain't talking to you and i ain't coming out

yeah

i heard that rumour

tell me where does it end

it's the same old blues

same old blues again
