I asked my baby to come down and help me go my bail
But the woman left me stranded people Oh in the county 
jail
That's why that's why that's why my guitar sings the 
Blues
I'm gonna tell everybody the news, she makes my guitar 
sing the Blues

I saw a fella come to her door, and she answered it 
with a smile
It almost blew my mind people, when she pulled down the 
blind
Oh that's why that's why you hear my guitar singin' the 
Blues
I really paid my dues people, Oh the girl makes my 
guitar sing the Blues

a different tune
But when I had a chance to ask her people she said No 
no time soon
That's why that's why that's why you hear my guitar 
singin' the Blues
Sometimes I may sound a little confused, she makes my 
guitar sing the Blues

You know I thought I'd call my baby, because I missed 
her so much since she been gone
Just when I thought she'd say yeah, they disconnected 
my telephone
Oh That's why that's why that's why you hear my guitar 
singin' the Blues
Gonna tell everybody the news, she makes my guitar sing 
the Blues.
