Left All Alone Again Blues
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.
