Have you heard that rumour that's going around

You got it madeway across town

It's the same old storytell me where does it end

YesI heard the newsit's the same old blues again

When I wrote you a letteryou must have read it wrong

I stood at your doorwaybut you was gone

I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring

It's the same old bluessame old blues again

When you give me the businessyou know I get a mind

'cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time

It's the same old storytell me where does it end

It's the same old bluessame old blues again

I'm gonna find me a mountainI'm gonna hide out

I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out

YeahI heard that rumourtell me where does it end

It's the same old bluessame old blues again
