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 time and let the telephone ring

it's the same old blues

same old blues again

when you give me the business

well did in your mind

'cause i've got a lot of patience and i 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 yet coming out

'cause i heart that rumour

tell me where does it end?

yes i heard the news

it's the same old blues again
