<instrumental intro>
Song sung blue, everybody knows
one
Song sung blue, every garden
grows one
Me and you are subject to the
blues now and then
But when ya take the blues and
make a song
Ya sing 'em out again
Song sung blue, weepin' like a
willow
Song sung blue, sleepin' on my
pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it
with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it starts
to feelin' good
Ya simply got no choice
(Song sung blue), everybody
knows one
(Song sung blue), every garden
grows one
Me and you are subject to the
blues now and then
But when ya take the blues and
make a song
Ya sing 'em out again
(Song sung blue), weepin' like a
willow
(Song sung blue), sleepin' on my
pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it
with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it starts
to feelin' good
Ya simply got no choice
<instrumental> mixed with
backups' (Song sung blue)
