The Blues Is All I Ever Had

Some folks always seem to find the good things
Other folks get mixed up with the bad
Don't ask me what I know about the good things
The blues is all I ever had

To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad
My world's been a string of second places
The blues is all I ever had

When I first met him, I thought that maybe
He could change this lonely life I led
When he smiled and said: I love you, baby
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said

Guess it's time for me to say goodbye now
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad
Since he's gone, what is there left to try now?
The blues is all I ever had
The blues is all I ever had
