Oh, I know it's a jamboree
Living here's just a jubilee
But when I see what it's done to me
It's a bluesy world
And oh, I know you're a sweet young maid
All your plans nice and easy laid
But when I look what a price you've paid
Well, it's a bluesy world
And every morning when I wake up
Here comes another day
Goodbye, I can't afford to make up
I'll try another way
Sitting here as the moments fly
Watching tears flowing from your eyes
More and more as my life goes by
It's a bluesy world
Now every morning when I wake up
It's still another day
So long, it's time you let me slip up
And throw my blues away
Though I see all the gifts you bring
And I hear all the bells they ring
The song gets hard for the boys to sing in a bluesy world
Yes, the song's so hard for the boys to sing in a bluesy world
