[Verse 1]
Send us down sweet angels
Send us down sugar and smiles
Send us lovin' and flowers
The kind that you wore in your hair
You took a ride, blues lady
Somewhere high up in the sky
You were so high and far away, mama
You couldn't hear me say goodbye

[Chorus]
Fare thee well, blues lady
Fare thee well, sweet blues gal
Fare thee well, dear mama
I won't be seein' you for a while

[Verse 2]
Send us down sweet laughter
And kindliness like you wore to town
Send us kisses from your pearl necklace
'Cause we are still hip to your style
Send us uppers when we are downers
Snd us songs like you sang so well
We hope you hear us and you are dancin'
Just like you did in the Chelsea Hotel
[Chorus]
Fare thee well, blues lady
Fare thee well, sweet blues gal
Fare thee well, dear mama
Won't be seein' you for a while
