When you see me coming
looking like a millionaire
I'm walking all by myself
feeling great despair
People they all greet me
they all know me
I'm the king of the blues
since she left me
Since the day she went away
I've been on a lucky streak,
The money keeps on rolling in
and I'm feeling like a freak
While I'm making money
I'm feeling kind of funny
I'm the king of the blues
since she left me
From the top of my hat
to my two-tone shoes
From my gold watch chain
to my three-piece suit
From my bank account
to my Havana cheroot
I ain't nothing
but the king of the blues
People they all greet me
they all know me
I'm the king of the blues
since she left me
From the top of my hat
to my two-tone shoes
From my gold watch chain
to my three-piece suit
From my bank account
to my Havana cheroot
I ain't nothing
but the king of the blues
People they all greet me
they all know me,
I'm the king of the blues
since she left me
