(piano rag)

Blue as the heaven
Blue as the sky
I've got the blues
Here's the reason why

I done lost my baby
Going 'way round too long
I done lost my baby
An the whole world is going on wrong

I stood an gazed
Far away
Lookin' for my baby
Didn't have a word to say

I done lost my baby
Going where I belong
I done lost my baby
An the whole world is going on wrong
(piano)

'Yes, I done lost my baby'
'Too, bad!'
'Too, sad!'
'Tell some sweet man, I said, 'Come up
and see me sometime'
'I'm just a lonely girl'

I stood an thinkin'
Didn't know what to do
To get my baby
I'm so lonesome an blue

I done lost my baby
Going 'way round, too long
I done lost my baby
An the whole world is going on wrong
(piano)

I love my baby
Now, I'm down an out
I ain't gon' tell nobody
What it's all about

I done lost my baby
Going where I belong
I done lost my baby
An the whole world is going on wrong
(piano)

'Take it, boys'
'I'm goin' where I belong'
