I've had no company since you left me
And no one to say good morning to
But starting today, I'll have a friend here to stay
So blues, take off your shoes and stay for a while
Stay for a while and let me talk to you
Before I go out of my mind
Oh, I get so lonesome here thinking of you, my dear
So blues, take off your shoes and stay for a while
Oh, the sun has stopped shining, my blue skies are gone
Even the flowers forget it's time to bloom
Oh, the nights are so lonely, the days are so blue
With no one to talk to, just me and the blues
Stay for a while and let me talk to you
Before I go out of my mind
Oh, I get so lonesome here thinking of you, my dear
So blues, take off your shoes and stay for a while
