Have you heard that rumor
That's been goin' 'round
My baby's got a man way across town

The same ole story
Now tell me when will it end
You heard the news

The same ole blues again

I wrote you a letter

You must of read it wrong
I's standin' at the doorway
Now baby you were gone

Must have took a lot of courage
To let the telephone ring
I got the news

The same ole blues again

You gave me the business

Cause I got a lot of patience
Girl I got a lot of time
The same ole story

Tell me when will it end
You heard the news
The same ole blues again


INST.


I'll climb me a mountain
And I'm gonna hide out
Ain't taking you from me babe

Lord I ain't comin' down
It's the same ole story
Now tell me when will it end

You heard the news
I got the same ole blues again


INST.

've You heard that rumor

That's been goin' 'round
Yeah my baby got a man
Way across town

It's the same ole story
Tell me when will it end
Have you heard the news

I got the same ole blues again
I got the news
The same ole blues again


Same ole blues
