Well I don't know why I hang out, hand
Out all night long
Hang out all night long knowin' I'm doin'
My baby wrong
I don't know why - I don't know why
I don't know why I keep singin'
These blues
I don't know why but I do
I don't know why I gamble with my love
On the line
I put my love on the line but I get caught
Every time
I don't know why - I don't know why
I don't know why I keep singin'
These blues
I don't know why but I do
Well I don't know why I do you like I do
When night after night all I want is you
I don't know why I keep singin'
These blues
I don't know why but I do
I don't know why I'm always tryin' to get
My baby back
Tryin' to get my baby back and keep this
Train on the track
I don't know why - I don't know why
I don't know why I keep singin'
These blues
I don't know why but I do
Well I don't know why I do you like I do
When night after night all I want is you
I don't know why I keep singin'
These blues
I don't know why but I do
