Storm is risin', and the rain begin to fall.

Storm is risin', and the rain begin to fall.

Trouble is at my window, and the blues is knockin' down my door.



My blues start before sunrise, and last the whole day through.

My blues start before sunrise, and last the whole day through.

Yes, I've had the blues so bad, ever since I lost a sweet woman like you.



Come on back to me baby, there'll never be no one but you.

Please come on back to me baby, there'll never be no one but you.

I tried so hard baby, but I can't please you no way I do.



Sometimes you're with me, but the most of the time you're gone.

Sometimes you're with me, but the most of the time you're gone.

And if you don't want me baby, then why in the devil don't you let me alone.



Blues, fallin' down like drops of rain.

Blues, fallin' down like drops of rain.

Every once in a while, I can hear my baby call my name.
