Left All Alone Again Blues

by (1885–1945)

Listen in the reader

I have the blues, Ev'ry time my hubby leaves me I have the blues Because it peeves me to be left here flat here Just like a bump on a log. I said on a log.

No women knows If she has a travlin' husband just where he goes Unless she follows on and nails him, trails him Just like a faithful old dog.

That old song "Where has my Highland laddie gone" It says a mouthful We never do know Just where they do go How they keep us guessing Isn't it distressing!

I have the blues When my hubby leaves, although I wouldn't accuse Each time he says "Good-Bye" I get those same old left all alone again blues.

I have the blues Ever since he married me, I sure have the blues Because I used to have a good time, all time, Every time I might roam. I said when I'd roam.

When first we met We could render a duet But now Hubby sings "I won't go Home 'til morning" Never one short stanza of "Home Sweet Home"

I like cats I'm fond of rabbits I like dogs And even gold fish It's lucky maybe For there's a baby Grand piano coming Then I'll start a humming:

I have the blues Only hubby dear can cure my terrible blues Each time he says "Good-Bye" I get those dog gone left all alone again blues.
