Am I Blue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
Waiting on a weary shore
I'm just a woman that's only human
One you should be sorry for
Got up this morning, along about dawn
Without a warning, I found he was gone
Why should he do it, how could he do it
He never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you
Am I blue, you'd be too
If each plan with your man
Done fell through
Was a time
I was his only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one Lordy
Was I gay, till today
Now he's gone, and we're through
Am I blue
He's in Chicago, he's in Chicago
Now I'm down here in Birmingham
Trying to get the money, to get to see my honey
I am. Indeed, I am
With the blues in my heart
How my shoes want to start
But I'm in a jam
As blue as the sky blue
All wondering why too, do these tears in these eyes telling you
No one feels like I do
Boo hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo
If each plan with your man
Done fell through
Was a time, I was his only, only, only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one
Lordy, was I gay
Oh Lord, was I gay--every day
That man went away
Now he's gone, and we're through. Am I blue
That's all
