A Mess of Blues Lyrics

[Verse]
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm going crazy
Sitting here all alone
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

I ain't slept a wink since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoops, there goes a teardrop
Rolling down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

[Chorus]
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train going
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoops, there goes a teardrop
Rolling down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

[Chorus]
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

[Outro]
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
