| You ain’t been blue, no, no, no
 | 
| You ain’t been blue 'til you’ve had that mood indigo
 | 
| That old funky 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 down low
 | 
| I’m so lonesome I could cry
 | 
| Ain’t nobody cares about me
 | 
| I’m just a soul bluer than blue can be
 | 
| When I get that mood indigo
 | 
| I could lay me down and die
 | 
| I say you ain’t been blue, no, no, no
 | 
| You ain’t been blue 'til you’ve had the touch of that mood indigo
 | 
| That old feelin' sure 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 way down low
 | 
| I’m so lonesome I could cry
 | 
| Ain’t nobody cares about me
 | 
| I’m just a soul bluer than blue could ever be
 | 
| When I get that mood indigo
 | 
| I could lay me down and die
 | 
| Always get me that mood indigo
 | 
| Since my baby said goodbye
 | 
| In the evenin' when lights are down low
 | 
| I’m so lonesome I could cry
 | 
| Ain’t nobody cares about me
 | 
| I’m just a soul bluer than blue can be
 | 
| When I get that mood indigo
 | 
| I could lay me down and die |
