Just think, tonight is Thanksgiving
ev'ryone's going somewhere.
Nobody knows that I'm living
they pass me by
I wonder why.

I'm all alone ev'ry night
how I moan and
how I fight those Big City Blues.
I walk for miles
place to place
no one smiles to help me
chase those big city blues.
I'm like a little tot
who needs a lot
of tenderness and care.
All I've got
is just a lot of sorrow and despair.
Won't someone please
talk to me,
don't refuse
hear my plea and help me
lose those Big City Blues.

I'm all alone ev'ry night
how I moan and
how I fight those Big City Blues.
I walk for miles
place to place
no one smiles to help me
chase those big city blues.
I'm like a little tot
who needs a lot
of tenderness and care.
All I've got
is just a lot of sorrow and despair.
Won't someone please
talk to me,
don't refuse
hear my plea and help me
lose those Big City Blues.

Tho' I look forward to new days
somehow they never appear.
Life gives me nothing but blue days
why should it be
picking on me?

I'm all alone ev'ry night
how I moan and
how I fight those Big City Blues.
I walk for miles
place to place
no one smiles to help me
chase those big city blues.
I'm like a little tot
who needs a lot
of tenderness and care.
All I've got
is just a lot of sorrow and despair.
Won't someone please
talk to me,
don't refuse
hear my plea and help me
lose those Big City Blues.

I'm all alone ev'ry night
how I moan and
how I fight those Big City Blues.
I walk for miles
place to place
no one smiles to help me
chase those big city blues.
I'm like a little tot
who needs a lot
of tenderness and care.
All I've got
is just a lot of sorrow and despair.
Won't someone please
talk to me,
don't refuse
hear my plea and help me
lose those Big City Blues.
