Intro: Some folks always seem to find the good things Other folks get mixed up with the bad Don't ask me what I know about the good things The blues is all I ever had To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces For those lucky few, I'm awful glad My world's been a string of second places The blues is all I ever had When I first met him, I thought that maybe He could change this lonely life I led When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby" Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad Since he's gone, what is there left to try now The blues is all I ever had
