[Chorus]
Have you heard that rumor that's going around
My baby's got a man, Lord, way across town
It's the same old story
Tell me where will it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

[Verse 1]
Well, I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong
Stood at the doorway, baby you was gone
It took a lot of courage
To let the telephone ring
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

[Chorus]
Well, you gave me the business, though I didn't mind
Because I got a lot of patience, Lord, I got a lot of time
It's the same old story
Tell me where will it end, yeah, Lord
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Yeah, Lord, here come my blues

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Wanna find me a mountain, and I'm going to hide out
Ain't talking to you babe, Lord, I ain't coming back
Well, I heard that rumor, tell me where will it end
I got the same old blues, the same old blues again
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Have you heard that rumor that's going around
My baby's got a man, Lord way across town
It's the same old story
Tell me where will this end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

[Outro]
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Yee
I got the blues, same old blues
