Billie holiday / herbie nichols Lady sings the blues She's got them bad She feels so sad Wants the world to know Just what the blues is all about Lady sings the blues She tells her side Nothing to hide Now the world will now Just what the blues is all about The blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start When you and your man have to part I ain't gonna just sit around and cry And now i won't die Because i love him Lady sings the blues She's got 'em bad She feels so sad The world will know She's never gonna sing them no more No more
