Today I Sing the Blues - O.V. Wright

Without a word of warning

The blues walked in this morning

And circle around my lonely room

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I didn’t know why I had this sad and lonely feeling

Until my baby called

And said, «We're through»

Oh, we’re through

Yesterday this time I sang a love song

But today, I’m singing the blues

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Here’s another thing

It strikes my kind of funny, yeah

How love can be this way

We were loving last night, honey

But I’m alone again today

It strikes my kind of funny

How fate can be so unfair

I come out on the losing end

In every, in every, in every love affair

Must be, it must be, it must be meant for me

That I must be the one

I must be the one to always lose, hah

I wonder why I always lose

I always lose

For yesterday this time I sang a love song

But oh, right now, right now I’m singing the blues

Oh, I can’t help but sing the blues sometimes

You got me walking in my shoes

I’m still singing the blues, baby

Oh, oh, oh

It hurt me down in my soul

But you still, you still got me singing the blues

Whoo, I think about yesterday baby

Its already passed and gone

But right now, right now, baby

Oh, I’m so on and on, yeah

And it makes me sad about it, baby

Whoo, I’m sad

Thats why you hear me singing the blues

You got me walking in my shoes

Oh, Lord

You got me singing the blues, yeah

And everywhere I go baby

You got me singing the blues
