I'M Blue Inside lyrics

(Hank Williams)

Once I was happy as I could be
But I let a gal make a fool of me
And ever since she let me down
The blues come around when the sun comes down.

Oh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Every evenin' when the sun goes down.

--- Instrumental ---

As the sun is in the sky
Those doggone blues never make me cry

(Irving Mills - Cliff Friend)

I got a feelin' called the blues
Oh Lord, since my baby's said goodbye
Oh, I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord.

That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lord, I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you
She's got that kinda lovin'.

Lord, I love to hear her
When she calls me sweet daddy

(Hank Williams)

All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I've got enough so I'm gettin' out
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.

I've been in the doghouse for so doggone long
That when I get a kiss I think that somethin's wrong
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.

(Hank Williams)

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die. oh Lawd
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry
She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blues.

I had me a woman who couldn't be untrue
She made me for money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on

(Hank Williams)

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothing I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord, what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin', moanin' the blues.

I wrote a nice long letter sayin' mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long I can't afford to lose her now

(Hank Williams)

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry.

--- Instrumental ---

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That mean's he's lost the will to live

(Hank Williams)

Listen to the rain a falling
Can't you hear that lonesome sound
Oh, my poor old heart is breaking
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.

--- Instrumental ---

Lord, I think I'll start to ramble
Got to leave this weary town
This old place is way to lonely
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.

--- Instrumental ---

On that train tonight I'm leaving

(Hank Williams)

Hey, I left my home down on a rural route
Told my folks' I'm goin' stampin' out
And get the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues.)

Hey, the honky tonk blues (hey. the honky tonk blues)
Hey Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues.)

Well, I went to a dance and I wore out my
Woke up this morning wishing I could lose
