Just when every ray of hope was gonenI should have known that you would come alongnI can't believe I ever doubted younMy old friend the bluesnnAnother lonely night, a nameless townnIf sleep don't take me first, you'll come aroundnI know I can always count on younMy old friend the bluesnnLovers leave and friends will let you downnBut you're the only sure thing that I've foundnNo matter what I do, I'll never losenMy old friend the bluesnnLovers leave and friends will let you downnBut you're the only sure thing that I've foundnNo matter what I do I'll never losenMy old friend the bluesnnLovers leave and friends will let you downnBut you're the only sure thing that I've foundnNo matter what I do I'll never losenMy old friend the bluesnJust let me hide my weary heart in younMy old friend the blues
