Verse:

I’ve got the saddest feelin’, I’m blue as I can be.
‘Round my heart comes stealin', What a pain, can’t explain.
Why did you ever leave me? Wish I had only known,
That some day you'd grieve me, Leaving me a1l alone.

 

Chorus:

Sad ‘n Blue, lonely too, since you’ve gone.
Sad ‘n Blue, thoughts of you, linger on.
Ev‘ry night, turn the light, say my pray’rs.
No one knows, I suppose, no one cares.
Sad ‘n Blue, tellin’ you, I regret.
Please forgive, I’m in love with you yet.
If you don't hear my plea, And come right home back to me,
Honey I’ll always be Sad ‘n Blue.
