You ain’t been blue, no, no, no 
You ain’t been blue 'til you’ve had that mood indigo
That old funky feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, «Go 'long blues»

Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are down low
I’m so lonesome I could cry

Ain’t nobody cares about me
I’m just a soul bluer than blue can be 
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
I say you ain’t been blue, no, no, no 
You ain’t been blue 'til you’ve had the touch of that mood indigo
That old feelin' sure goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, «Go 'long blues»
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are way down low
I’m so lonesome I could cry
Ain’t nobody cares about me
I’m just a soul bluer than blue could ever be 
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
Always get me that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are down low
I’m so lonesome I could cry
Ain’t nobody cares about me
I’m just a soul bluer than blue can be 
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
