Once I was happy as I could be
But I let a gal make a fool of me
And ever since she let me down
The blues come around when the sun comes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evenin' when the sun goes down.


As the sun is in the sky
Those doggone blues never make me cry
But ever since she left this town
The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Oh the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evenin' when the sun goes down.


I've built my castle very high
And then she went and said goodbye
Ever since she poured 'em down
The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evenin' when the sun goes down.


Once she called me all her own
But now she's gone and I'm alone
And every evenin' I'm sorrow bound
'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evenin' when the sun goes down.


Oh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evenin' when the sun goes down...
