I once had a woman, I treat her so fine,
She had my diamond ring, yes she was all mine,
But she left me, well I had so much to lose,

I gave her everything, she just gave me the blues,

Lying in the sunshine, in the summer days,

Sipping wine and whiskey in a purple haze,
I got all these memories, you know she was my muse,
Now she's gone I ain't got nothing, I just got the blues,


She's a scar on my soul,
Why I love her still,

I just don't know,

Woke up this morning, I had no place to go,

She's on a southbound train back to him I know,
Oh the pain you caused me, was it good enough for you to use?
I gave you my heart girl, but you just gave me the blues,


I don't know why, I'm still singing for you,
You'll never hear me and say you're sorry,

I don't know why, I feel the way the way I do,
It's just what you do to me,
I still love you, but you just give me the blues
