Am I Blue 1929

I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
waitin' on the weary shore.
I'm just a woman, that's only human
one you should be sorry for.
Got up this mornin' along about dawn
without a warnin'
I found he was gone.
Why should he do it?
How could he do it?
He never done it before.

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears
in these eyes tellin' you?
Am I'll blue? You'd be too
if each plan with your man
done fell through.
Was a time
I was his only one
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Lawdy, was I gay?
'til today,
now he's gone and we're through,
am I blue?

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears
in these eyes tellin' you?
Am I'll blue? You'd be too
if each plan with your man
done fell through.
Was a time
I was his only one
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Lawdy, was I gay?
'til today,
now he's gone and we're through,
am I blue?

It's aggravatin' to stand here waitin'
waitin' for a triflin' man.
It set me hatin' to stand here waitin'
suicide's my only plan.
I think it's awful,
his treatment of me
it's most unlawful
how mean he can be.
I can't forget him,
I'm bound to get him,
I'll run him down if I can.

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears
in these eyes tellin' you?
Am I'll blue? You'd be too
if each plan with your man
done fell through.
Was a time
I was his only one
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Lawdy, was I gay?
'til today,
now he's gone and we're through,
am I blue?

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears
in these eyes tellin' you?
Am I'll blue? You'd be too
if each plan with your man
done fell through.
Was a time
I was his only one
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Lawdy, was I gay?
'til today,
now he's gone and we're through,
am I blue?
