Am I Blue?

I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
Waiting on the weary shore
I'm just a woman that's only human
One you should be sorry for
Woke up this mornin', alone about dawn
Without a warnin', I found he was gone
How could he do it? Why should he do it?
He never done it before

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?
Am I blue? Why, you'd be too
If each plan with your man done fell through

There was a time when I was his only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one, laddy
Was I gay until today?
Now he's gone, and we're through
Am I blue?

I know it, he's in Chicago!
And I'm down here in Birmingham
Tryin' to get the money to go and find my honey
I am, yes indeed I am!
I've got the blues in my heart, and my shoes wanna start
Yet, I'm in a jam, a terrible jam

Oh, don't ask me am I blue
Why do you ask me am I blue?
Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?

Again you ask me am I blue
Why, wouldn't you be too?
If each plan with your man had done fell through

Don't I remember the time
When I was his only one
But look at me now, I'm the sad and lonely one

Oh, didn't I use to be gay?
Oh, 'til today
God I miss you!
Lord, am I blue!
