Mood Indigo Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
You ain't never been blue, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh
Go along blues
[Bridge]
I always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
And in the evening when lights are low
I'm so lonely I could cry
For there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
You ain't never been blue, no, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh
Go along blues
[Verse]
You ain't never been blue, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh
Go along blues
[Bridge]
I always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
And in the evening when lights are low
I'm so lonely I could cry
For there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
You ain't never been blue, no, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh
Go along blues
