The Meaning of the Blues

Do you know what it means to walk alone?

And what it means to be, be by yourself?

Do you know what it means when there's no one to bring you good news?

Then you know, you know the meaning of the blues

Do you know what it means to cry alone?

And what it means to cry by yourself?

Do you know what it means to love a woman you can't own?

If you do, then you know the meaning of the blues

I've been weeping and weeping,

Moaning and moaning,

Crying and sighing all the day

I've been hiding my tears

Feel like dying

Wishing love would come to stay

And do you know what it means when the lord is taken away?

I cry, oh I cry

Oh I cry everyday

Yes I know what it means to walk alone

And how it feels to walk by myself

Yes I know what it means to love a woman you can?t own

Yes I do,

I know the meaning of the blues

Yes I know the meaning of the blues

Woo-hoo
