Once I was happy as I could be

But I let a gal make a fool of me

And ever since she let me down

The blues come around when the sun comes down

Oh the blues come around

Oh the blues come around

Lord, the blues come around

Every evenin' when the sun goes down

As the sun is in the sky

Those doggone blues never make me cry

But ever since she left this town

The blues come around when the sun goes down

Oh the blues come around...

I've built my castle very high

And then she went and said goodbye

Ever since she poured 'em down

The blues come around when the sun goes down

Oh the blues come around...

Once she called me all her own

But now she's gone and I'm alone

And every evenin' I'm sorrow bound

Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down

Oh the blues come around...

Oh the blues come around...
