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

As the sun is in the sky
Those doggone blues never make me cry
But ever since she left this town
The blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...

I've built my castle very high
And then she went and said goodbye
Ever since she poured 'em down
The blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...

Once she called me all her own
But now she's gone and I'm alone
And every evenin' I'm sorrow bound
Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...

Oh the blues come around...
