Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the blues

Another lonely night, a nameless town
Sleep won't get me, you will come around
'Cause I can always count on you
My old friend the blues

'Cause lovers leave and friends will let you down
You're the only sure thing that I've found
There's one thing I know I'll never lose
My old friend the blues

'Cause lovers leave and friends will let you down
You're the only sure thing I have found
There's one thing I know I'll never lose
My old friend the blues

Let me rest my weary heart on you
My old friend the blues
