I had some sad times under my hat,
Swept some sorrows under the mat,
But I've always pulled through; but now
I got the blues over you.
I had some hard times under-stated;
Had some sad times under-rated,
But I've always pulled through; but now
I've got the blues over you.
Chorus:
You clipped my heart-strings close to the edge,
And cut my lovin' heart to the bone;
Took me to pieces. They'll never mend.
Left me to cry on my own…
Sometimes I stammer,
Sometimes I stutter;
Spend a good deal of time
Looking up from the gutter.
But I've always pulled through; but now
I've got the blues over you
Repeat Chorus / last verse.
