Mood Indigo - Billy Strayhorn

You ain’t been blue, no, no, no

You ain’t been blue 'til you’ve had that mood indigo

That old funky feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes

While I sit and sigh, «Go 'long blues»

Always get that mood indigo

Since my baby said goodbye

In the evenin' when lights are down low

I’m so lonesome I could cry

Ain’t nobody cares about me

I’m just a soul bluer than blue can be

When I get that mood indigo

I could lay me down and die

I say you ain’t been blue, no, no, no

You ain’t been blue 'til you’ve had the touch of that mood indigo

That old feelin' sure goes stealin' down to my shoes

While I sit and sigh, «Go 'long blues»

Always get that mood indigo

Since my baby said goodbye

In the evenin' when lights are way down low

I’m so lonesome I could cry

Ain’t nobody cares about me

I’m just a soul bluer than blue could ever be

When I get that mood indigo

I could lay me down and die

Always get me that mood indigo

Since my baby said goodbye

In the evenin' when lights are down low

I’m so lonesome I could cry

Ain’t nobody cares about me

I’m just a soul bluer than blue can be

When I get that mood indigo

I could lay me down and die
