Hear the drum in the jive-joint, a-beatin' out the blues
My heart is a-achin' baby, achin' for you
Blues-blues-blues, keep a-callin' me
While the drums keep a-beatin'
My baby keeps a-cheatin' on me
While the drums keep a-beatin'
My baby keeps a-cheatin' on me, on me
At a table in the corner another woman's got my man
They're talkin' and a-laughin', got a drink in their hand
Blues-blues-blues, keep a-callin' me
Well, she's lookin' mighty happy
She's done stole my daddy from me, from me

Rain keeps a-fallin' all around my feet
I get a bluesy feeling while I'm walkin' down the street
Blues-blues-blues, keep a-callin' me
While the rain keeps a-fallin'
The blues keep a-callin' me, ooh me
I keep a-walkin' the blues, blues, blues keep a talkin'
Blues-blues-blues, keep a-callin' me
Tillmy baby comes a-callin' the blues keep on hauntin' me
Oh the rain keeps a-fallin', the blues keep a-callin' me
