Jamey's got the blues day after day after day.
I know it must be something deep because there's nothing I can say
To help to ease the pain.
You know I can see in her troubled eyes
The skies are gray and it looks like Jamey's blues are here to stay.
She knows I really care enough to reach out a gentle hand
but even so I guess she doesn't think I'd understand
That when a woman's down, down is a rough and a lonely place
for some to be and it looks like Jamey's blues won't set her free.
Chorus
And Jamey's got the blues and it just ain't right
Jamey's got the blues in the middle of the night.
Jamey's got the blues and it hurts so bad I wish those blues would fly away.
come on blues and fly away now.
Fly away fly away.
And I remember nights Jamey and I would do the town
but now she never leaves her room and whenever I'm around
There's just not much to say it's almost as if we were strangers there
just filling the room and it looks like Jamey's blues became her tomb.
