Once I was happy as I could be
But I let a gal make a fool of me
Ever since she let me down
The blues come around
when the sun goes down
Oh, the blues come around
Yeah, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
every evening
when the sun goes down
Long as the sun is in the sky,
the doggone blues don't make me cry
But ever since she left this town,
the blues come around
when the sun goes down
Lord, the blues come around
Yeah, the blues come around
Well, the blues come around
every evening
when the sun goes down
I built my castles very high
And then she went and said good -bye
Ever since she tore them down
The blues come around
when the sun goes down
Oh, the blues come around,
yeah, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
every evening
when the sun goes down
Yeah, the blues come around
every evening
when the sun goes down
