Have you heard that rumor
That's been goin' 'round
My baby's got a man way across town
The same ole story
Now tell me when will it end
You heard the news
The same ole blues again

I wrote you a letter
You must of read it wrong
I's standin' at the doorway
Now baby, you were gone
Must have took a lot of courage
To let the telephone ring
I got the news
The same ole blues again

You gave me the business
Cause I got a lot of patience
Girl, I got a lot of time
The same ole story
Tell me when will it end
You heard the news
The same ole blues again


INST.

I'll climb me a mountain
And I'm gonna hide out
Ain't taking you from me, babe
Lord, I ain't comin' down
It's the same ole story
Now tell me when will it end
You heard the news
I got the same ole blues again

INST.

've You heard that rumor
That's been goin' 'round
Yeah, my baby got a man
Way across town
It's the same ole story
Tell me when will it end
Have you heard the news
I got the same ole blues again
I got the news
The same ole blues again

Same ole blues
