I Got The Blues For My Baby (Got The Blues)

I Got The Blues For My Baby (Got The Blues)

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

he plunged in his dagger
as if by request
like genghis kahn took bucharest
he ripped my heart from my chest

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

i met him in a bar
in memphis tennessee
he put me through some changes
Lord have mercy on me

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

i gave him my body
gave up my soul
relinquished independence
to watch his love grow cold

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

at first he seemed so tender
like his momma said he should
then he took a van and a man named dan
and they drove off to hollywood

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

i saw him on the tv
drinkin' mi ties by a pool
he was makin´ eyes at an architect
and i smiled just out of respect

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

i guess i´m just restless
´cause i got no place to go
and i´m tired of hearing all my friends
tell me something i all ready know

i got the blues for my baby got the blues
got the blues for my baby got the blues

maybe i´ll take a boat
to the province of shansi
i´ll change my name to ang lee scot
i wonder if he ever thinks of me
