Am I Blue? - Annette Hanshaw

Written by：Harry Akst/GrantClarke

I'm just a woman a lonely woman

Waiting on a weary shore

I'm just a woman that's only human

One you should be sorry for

Got up this morning along about dawn

Without a warning I found he was gone

Why should he do it how could he do it

He never done it before

Am I blue am I blue

Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you

Am I blue you'd be too

If each plan with your man

Done fell through

Was a time

I was his only one

But now I'm the sad and lonely one lordy

Was I gay 'til today

Now he's gone and we're through

Am I blue

He's in Chicago he's in Chicago

Now I'm down here in Birmingham

Trying to get the money to get to see my honey

I am indeed I am

With the blues in my heart

How my shoes want to start

But I'm in a jam

As blue as the sky blue

All wondering why to be in these eyes telling you

No one feels like I do

Boo hoo boo hoo boo hoo

If each plan with your man

Done fell through

Was a time I was his only only only one but now I'm the sad and lonely one

Lordy was I gay oh lord was I gay every day

That man went away

Now he's gone and we're through am I blue
