Lyrics

"I Cry and sing the blues" version:

Oh, there's no one there for me
Since my baby's love had been done with
All I do is think of you
I sit and cry, oh and I sing the blues
I sit and cry, and I sing the blues

Oh, there's no one to call me sweet names
And my heart, and my heart is filled with pain
Lord I don't know, I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and I sing the blues
I sit and cry and I sing the blues

Blues all in my bloodstream
Blues all in my home
Blues all in my soul
I got blues all in my bones

Oh no one to depend on
Since my baby, since my baby's love had been gone
Broken hearted and lonesome too
I sit and cry and I sing the blues
I sit and cry oh and I sing the blues
I sit and cry
I sit and I cry
I sit and I cry
I cry
I cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, oh
And I sing on, I sing on, I sing on the blues
Oh, I sing on, I sing on
Sing on the blues

Lyrics

"Sit and Cry the blues" version:

Oh, I've got no one there for now
Since my baby's love had been done with
Well, I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues

Well, no one to cry on her sweet name
And my heart is filled with pain
Oh I only think of you
I sit and cry and sing the blues

Blues found in my bloodstream
Blues found in my home
Blues found in my soul
I got blues all in my bones

Oh no one to depend on
Since my baby's love had been gone
Oh I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues

Oh yeah!
Come here baby!

Oh no one to depend on
Since my baby's love has been gone
Whoa, I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues
I sit and cry and sing the blues
