The Blues is All I’ve Ever Had

Some folks always seem to
Find the good things
Other folks get mixed up with the bad
Don't ask me what I know
About the good things
The blues is all I ever had

To some
The earth's a world of friendly faces
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad
My world's been a string of second places
The blues is all I ever had

When I first met him, I thought that maybe
He could change this lonely life I led
When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby"
Silly girl, I believed each word he said
Guess it's time for me to say goodbye now
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad
Since he's gone
What is there left to try now?
The blues is all I ever had
