Once I was happy as I could be
But I let a girl make a fool of me
And ever since she let me down
The blues come around when the sun goes downOh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes downAs long as the sun is in the sky
These doggone blues never make me cry
But ever since she left this town
The blues come around when the sun goes downOh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes downI built my castles very high
And then she went and said goodbye
And ever since she tore 'em down
The blues come around when the sun goes downOh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes downOnce she called me all her own
But now she's gone and I'm alone
And ever evenin' I'm sorrow bound
'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes downOh, the blues come around
Oh, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes downOh, the blues come around
Yeah, the blues come around
Lord, the blues come around
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes down
