Once I was happy as I could be but I let a gal make a fool of me
And ever since she let me down the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around yeah the blues come around
Lord the blues come around every evenin' when the sun goes down
As long as the sun is in the sky the doggone blues don't make me cry
But ever since she left this town the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around yeah the blues come around
Well the blues come around every evenin' when the sun goes down
I built my castle very high and then she went and said goodbye
Ever since she tore'em down the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around yeah the blues come around
Lawd the blues come around every evenin' when the sun goes down
Once she called me all her own but now she's gone and I'm alone
And every evenin' I'm sorrow bound
Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...
Oh the blues come around...
