Señor Blues is what they call him,
way down Mexicali way.
Señoritas fallin' for him,
with the hope that he would stay.
By the time that they love him,
Señor Blues done gone away.

Well he's tall and good lookin'
and he always knows just what to say.
Yeah he's tall and good lookin'
and he always knows just what to say.
By the time that they love him,
Señor Blues done gone away.

Ay ay ay, I don't know why!
Ay ay ay, I'm a wandering guy!
Ay ay ay, with no one girl to lay my head by.
