Blue, Lord, I'm blue
There ain't no one to blame, but me
Raining down on me
Your fairweather friends will run out too
My good girl tried to tell me
Lord, when your luck runs out
My life is in such a mess
I gotta change my way of living
I gotta change my way of living
No place for me to lay my head
You're a very lucky man, Lord
Blue, Lord, I'm blue
'Cause the blues is all I see
I gotta change my way of living, change my way
Now she's taken her things and left me
Blue, Lord I'm blue
Raining down on me
Now, when your luck runs out
The blues raining down on me
I gotta change my way of living
Lord, my good girl tried to tell me
Wouldn't hear a lonesome thing, she said
The blues is all I see
If there is just one who'll stand by you
Lord, trouble's all that I can see
That's when your friends will run out too
Wouldn't hear a thing, she said
