Born to sing the blues
So tired an' worn, just singin' the blues
Alone right from the start
I walked alone with blues in my heart

True love, (true love) I've never known (I've never known)
Everything (everything) I do is wrong (all wrong)
But wrong, I've always been
It's hard to go on when I never win

My life, (my life) my destiny, (my destiny)
Is loneliness (loneliness) and misery (misery)
My life, I didn't choose
I guess, I was born to sing the blues

The lonesome blues
The weary blues
