A Touch Of The Blues

Bobby Bland


I said it wasn't long ago, I was doing real good 
Don't you know my baby was acting, like a sweet girl should 
But she found another, whoa Lord, and I got the news 
And now I'm here suffering, from a touch of the blues 
My friends say I look bad, and I guess they are right 
I can't eat or sleep, no no baby 
I toss and turn all night, my eyes are al red 
Whoa Lord, and I'm dragging my shoes 
But I'm not really worried, no, no, baby 
It's just a touch of the blues 
I went to see my doctor, but he said I was alright 
I didn't get a prescription, just some good advice 
He said to forget you, whoa Lord, and stop being your fool 
If you wanted to lose this touch of the blues 
Oh, I guess time will ease this pain in my heart 
Then I'll find a new lover baby, oh Lord, and make a brand new start 
Then I'll hope that she'll love me, oh Lord, and always be true 
And don't leave me here suffering, with a touch of the blues
