Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics) You ain't been blue; no, no, no. You ain't been blue, 'Til you've had that mood indigo. That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues". Always get that mood indigo, Since my baby said goodbye. In the evenin' when lights are low, I'm so lonesome I could cry. 'Cause there's nobody who cares about me, I'm just a soul who's Bluer than blue can be. When I get that mood indigo, I could lay me down and die.
