Just when every ray of hope was gone

I should have known that you would come along

I can't believe I ever doubted you

My old friend the blues

Another lonely night in this town

The Sleep dont take me first you'll come around

I know I can always count on you

My old friend the blues

Lovers leave and friends will let you down

But your the only sure thing that I found

No matter what I do I'll never lose

My old friend the blues

Lovers leave and friends will let you down

And your the only sure thing that I found

No matter what I do I'll never lose

My old friend the blues

Just let me hide my weary heart in you

My old friend the blues
