My Old Friend The Blues
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.
Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you my old friend the blues
Another lonely night a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first you'll come around
Cause I know I can always count on you my old friend the blues
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But you're the only sure thing that I've found
No matter what I do I'll never lose my old friend the blues
[ steel ]
Lovers leave and friends...
Just let me hide my weary heart in you my old friend the blues
