Blues stay away from me
Uh-uh-uh, blues why don't you let me be
I don't know why you keep a-hauntin' me

True love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
It seems somehow we never can agree

My life is full of misery
And dreams are like a memory
They're bringing back your love that used to be

I got teardrops so many I can't see
And years don't mean a thing to me
But time goes by and still I can't be free

Uh-uh-uh, blues stay away from me
You hear me, blues why don't you let me be
I don't know why you keep a-haunting me
No, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me
Oh, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me
