Billie holiday / herbie nichols
Lady sings the blues
She's got them bad
She feels so sad
Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
Now the world will now
Just what the blues is all about
The blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
And now i won't die
Because i love him
Lady sings the blues
She's got 'em bad
She feels so sad
The world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more
No more
