[Verse 1]
Have you heard that rumour
That's going around?
You got a man
Way across town
It's the same old story
Tell me when does it end?

[Refrain]
Yes I heard the news
It's the same old blues again

[Verse 2]
Well I wrote you a letter
You must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway
Ah, but you were gone
I took a lot of time
And let your telephone ring

[Refrain]
It's the same old blues
The same old blues again

[Verse 3]
When you give me the business
You know I get a mind
Cause I've got a lot of patience
And I got a lot of time
It's the same old story
Tell me where does it end?
[Refrain]
It's the same old blues
It's the same old blues again

[Verse 4]
Gonna find me a mountain
Gonna hide out
Ain't talking to you
And I ain't coming out
Yes, I heard the rumour
Tell me where does it end?

[Refrain]
It's the same old blues
It's the same old blues again

[Outro]
Oh, oh, baby baby baby
What'd you make me do
I don't know where I am
It's the same old blues
Same old blues again
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well you gave me the business
Gave me the business
It's the same old blues
Same old blues again
Well you gave me the blues
Same old blues again
