A pair of pale blue eyes
Told the sad, sad story
She was pretty like a knife
And she cut right into me

'Cause of my blue sin, my blue sin
'Cause of my blue sin, my blue sin
I was so afraid
I was so afraid of losin' you
'Cause of my blue sin, my blue sin

I asked her what she needed
So she took me to her man
I sad, "Hey, brother, I got some green"
He said, "Well, boss, I'll do what I can"
When I came to the next morning
She was cold as ice
I had to, I had to get outta place
Couldn't stay at any price

I was so afraid, so afraid of losin' you, Lord
'Cause of my bluе sin
'Cause of my blue sin
Lord, I can't lose again, yеah

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
When I woke up this morning
Nobody was around
Wanted to drink away my troubles
But no money could be found
Seven years have passed
And I'm still on the run
Livin' in a bottle
Tryin' to forget what I done

But I was so afraid, child
I was so afraid of losin' you, yeah
'Cause of my blue sin
Yeah, my blue sin
Oh, yeah, oh, man, oh, man

I got the blues again, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, man, dig that cat
