a woman,
a lonely woman,
waitin' on a weary shore.
I'm just a woman that's
only human,
one you should be sorry for
Got up this morning,
how long 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?
Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you
Am I blue, you'd be too
If each time with your man
sion fell through,
was a time I was his only one.
But now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Thought it was a game, till today
Now he's gone,
and wherefore am I blue?
He's in Chicago,
he's in Chicago,
and I'm down here in Birmingham
I'm try ing to get the money
to get to see my honey I am, indeed I am
With a blues in my heart,
how my shoes want to stop
but I'm in a jam
As blue as the sky, blue
You're wonderin' why
to these hills in here I'm
tellin' you
No one feels like I do, boo -hoo,
boo -hoo, boo -hoo
Each friend with my man
done fell through
Was a time, I was his only, only, only one
But now I'm a sad and lonely one
Lordy, was I gay, oh Lord, was I gay
Yesterday that man went away
Now he's gone, and where, who,
who, am I blown?
That's all.
