(Milton Campbell)

Want you to hear me when I say
that the blues is back,
and it's here to stay

I wanna tell you a story,
a story all about the blues
I want you to listen to me baby,
while I sing it to you
Want you to hear me when I say
that the blues is back,
and it's here to stay

I used to have me somebody,
she mean't the whole world to me
But she left me for someone else,
left my heart in misery
Yes, she did!
But I knew the day she left me
that the blues was gonna be a part of me
Yes, it was

Since you left me with the blues,
it was the last thing I thought I could use
But I'm glad that you left me,
left me with the blues
If you hadn't given me the blues,
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you

And I'm gonna tell you
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Allright (allright),
allright (allright),
every day and night

Here we go Albert!
One more time!

Since you left me with the blues,
it was the last thing I thought I could use
But I'm glad that you left me,
left me with the blues
If you hadn't given me the blues,
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you

And I'm gonna sing it
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Allright (allright),
allright (allright),
every day and night

I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Allright (allright),
it's allright (allright),
every day and night

One more time!

I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
It's allright (allright),
it's allright (allright),
it's allright (allright),
it's allright (allright),
it's allright every day and every night

Yes, it is!
Want you to hear me when I say
that the blues is back,
and it's here to stay
The blues is allright!
