Jamey's got the blues day after day, after day,
I know it must be something deep, 'cause there's nothing I can say that helps to ease the pain,
You know, I can see in her troubled eyes the skies are grey, and it looks like Jamey's blues are bound to stay.
She knows I really care enough to reach out a gentle hand, but, even so, I guess she doesn't think I'd understand that when a woman's down, down is a rough and a lonely place for someone to be...and it looks like Jamey's blues won't set her free, oh no, no.
And Jamey's got the blues, and it just ain't right,
Jamey's got the blues in the middle of the night,
Jamey's got the blues, and it hurts so bad,
I wish those blues would fly away,
Come on, blues, and fly away now.
Fly away, fly away,
Oh, oh.
And I remember nights Jamey and I would do the town, but now she never leaves her room, and whenever I'm around there's just not much to say,
It's almost as if we were strangers there, just filling the room...and it looks like Jamey's blues became her tomb, oh.
And Jamey's got the blues,
Jamey's got the blues,
Jamey's got the blues,
Ooh,
Jamey's got the blues.
Jamey, I don't know why,
Jamey's got the blues,
Ooh,
Ooh,
Jamey's got the blues,
Jamey's got the blues,
(fade)
