You   ain't been  blue___  No,   No,   No,
You    ain't  been  blue,___ Till you've  had___ that
Mood   In - di - go,  That  feel - in'   
goes____ steal-in'  down   to   my  shoes,
While   I    sit   and    sign:____
"Go          'long         blues."

Al - ways get    that  Mood  In - di - go,___
Since my ba - by said  good  -bye, 
In  the eve - nin' when lights are low,__
I'm  so  lone-some  I  could   cry,

'Cause there's no-bod-y  who cares a-bout me,__
I'm just  a soul  who's blu-er than blue__ can be,
When I get   that  Mood  In-di-go,__
I  could  lay me down   and   die.
