Lyrics : Duke Ellington/Irving Mills/A. Bigard
Music : Duke Ellington/A. Bigard/Irving Mills
You ain't  been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've  had  that mood  indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to  my shoes
While I sit  and sigh, "Go 'long blues ".
Always get  that mood indigo,
Since my baby  said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome  I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood  indigo,
I could lay me down  and die.
