Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around 
My baby's got a man, lord way across town 
Its the same old story 
Tell me where will it end 
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again

Well I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong 
Stood at the doorway and baby you was gone 
Took a lot of courage 
To let the telephone ring 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

Well you gave me the business, though I didn't mind 
'Cause I got a lot of patience, Lord got a lot of time 
Its the same old story 
Tell me where will it end 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again 
Here come my blues

Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out 
Ain't talkin' to you babe, Lord I ain't comin' back 
Well I heard that rumor, tell where will it end 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around 
My baby's got a man, lord way across town 
Its the same old story 
Tell me where will this end 
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

I got the blues... same old blues
