[1] Those mean ol' blues hang over [4] me
Like a dark grey [1] cloud or the deep blue [5] sea
Like the wind that [1] drives those clouds a-[4]-way
Your love [1] will make [5] it a sunny [1] day

Roll on [4] blues you can't hang a-[1]-round
For the girl I love is comin' to [1] town
Roll on blues you gotta let me [4] be
Gonna paint the [1] town [5] my honey and [1] me

The gal I love will soon be here
And I hear her say that I love you dear
And all my cares the tears gonna fade
And the mean ol' blues will roll away

Hand and hand, down old broadway
Where the lights at night are brighter than day
strolling along, my baby and me
And the mean old blues are gonna set me free
