Blues shadows fallin', since my baby went away 
Blues shadows fallin', since my baby went away 
You know the blues is my companion, every night and every day 

The blues walked in this morning, when my baby said goodbye 
The blues walked in this morning, when my baby said goodbye 
I wish I could change her mind, but I know it's no use for me to try 

Yes will you talk to me baby, if it's just by the telephone 
Won't you please talk to me baby, if it's just by the telephone 
Let me tell you how I miss you baby and how it feels to be alone 

So brother, if you got a good woman, man, you better take my advice 
Say, if you got a good woman, man, you better take my advice 
You better treat her like an angel and keep her home at any price
