Well I heard that rumour that's going around?
You got a business, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Well I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

Well I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
Stood in your doorway but you were long gone
It took a lot of time to let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

When you gave me the business, well did'nt mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
With the same old blues, same old blues again

Gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
'Cause I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end?
I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

Wow yes, maybe have you heard the news
I got the same old blues, I got the blues again
Have you heard that rumour,tell me where does it end?
With the same old blues, the same old blues again

Same old blues, I got the same old blues, yeah
Same old blues, I got the same old blues, yeah
Oooo oo same old blues, yeah

Tell me baby, why I got the blues
