I just got your letter baby, too bad you can't come home
   I swear I'm going crazy, sitting here all alone
   Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
  
   Whoops there goes a tear drop, a-rolling down my face
   And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
  
   I ain't slept a wink since Sunday, I can't eat a thing all day
   And every day is just Blue Monday since you've been away
   Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
  
   Whoops there goes a tear drop, a rolling down my face
   And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
  
   I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
   I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
   Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
  
   I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
   I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
   Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
   Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
   Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
