Mood Indigo

(1930) Barney Bigard, Duke Ellington, Irving Mills



You ain't never been blue, no, no, no

You ain't never been blue

Till you've had that mood indigo

That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes

While I just sit here and sigh

Go along blues



I always get that mood indigo

Since my baby said goodbye

And in the evening when the lights are low

I'm so lonely I could cry

For there's nobody who cares about me

I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be

When I get that mood indigo

I could lay me down and die



You ain't never been blue, no, no, no

You ain't never been blue

Till you've had that mood indigo

That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes

While I just sit here and sigh

Go along blues
