a Soulful Shade of Blue - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Dressmaker, dressmaker

I’m singing at the hall next Saturday night and he’ll be there

He’s been gone for so long, I want him back again

Make me the sweetest dress you can

Make it a soulful shade of blue with a ribbon at the hem

A ribbon white for loyalty to show that I remember when

A soulful shade of blue looked into my eyes

And tell him I want him back again

Dressmaker, dressmaker

Don’t make it loud or bright, just make it a sweet and gentle style

Then maybe he’ll remember me it was not so long ago

I’ll miss his sweet and gentle smile

Make it a soulful shade of blue with a ribbon at the hem

A ribbon white for loyalty to show that I remember when

A soulful shade of blue looked into my eyes

And tell him I want him back again

Make it a soulful shade of blue
