You’re breaking my heart, baby
There ain’t a damn thing I can do
You got me wringing my hands
And crying, baby
While you’re breaking my heart in two
You know I just can’t believe
I can’t believe, baby
That you’re doing the things you do
I can’t believe, baby
I can’t believe you would do me wrong
Please have mercy on me, baby
I want you to come on back
Come on back where you belong
I want you so bad
I want you so bad, baby
You know I need my lady home
Blues stay away from me
Oh blues, what don’t you let me be
Don’t know why
You keep on haunting me
Love never meant for me
Oh true love was never meant for me
Seem somehow
We never can agree
Life is full of misery
Oh dreams are like memories
Bringing back
The love that used to be
Tears, so many I can’t see
Oh yes, don’t mean a thing to me
Oh, don’t go by
Still I can be free
I’ve traveled for miles around
Seems like everybody wanna put me down
Because I’m a bluesman
But I’m a good man, understand
I went down to the bus station
Look upon the wall
My money is to light people
Couldn’t go no where at all
I’m a bluesman
But I’m a good man, understand
The burden that I carry, oh is so heavy
It seems like ain’t nobody in this great big world
That would wanna, wanna help old B.
Hey, but I’ll, I would be all right people
Just give me a break, good things come
The those wait, and I’ve waited a long time
I’m a bluesman
But I’m a good man, understand
When that midnight hour went chiming, I was in my room alone
Yes, when that midnight hour went chiming, I was in my room alone
Yes, and when I came home this evening, I found my baby gone
Oh, I laid my head on my pillow, I gazed up at the stars up above
Yes, I laid my head on my pillow, yes, lookin’ up at the stars above
I tell you it’s a miserable feeling, oh, when you lose the one you love
Oh, I get the blues at midnight, oh there’s one thing I can’t describe
Oh, I get the blues at midnight, oh there’s one thing I can’t describe
Yes, and when you look at your baby’s picture, oh, tears will come from your eyes
People, I was standing at my window, tears running all down my cheeks
Yes, standing at my window, tears running all down my cheeks
Well, I could see the woman I’m loving, stopping everyone in the world she meets
Well, standing on the corner, between 35th and Main
Well, standing on the corner, people, between 35th and Main
Yeah, that’s where a blind man’s seen my woman, people, a dumb man called her name
He said, “Oh, I’m blind, you brought eyesight and made me see”
“Oh, I’m blind, you brought eyesight and made me see”
Yes, and the dumb man asked a question, “Woman, who may your good man be?”
Yes, I’m standing by trembling, people, people, my heart’s laying in my hand
I’m standing by trembling, darling, with my heart’s laying in my hand
Well, I could hear my baby say, “Lord, I ain’t got no man”
