i got the same old blues

Eric Clapton

Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around
My baby's got a man, Lord way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where will it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

Well, I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong
Stood at the doorway, baby you was gone
Took a lot of courage, let the telephone ring
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

Well, you gave me the business, no I didn't mind
'Cause I got a lot of patience, Lord I got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where will it end
Lord, I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Lord, here come my blues

Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out
I ain't talkin' to you babe, Lord I ain't comin' back
Well, I heard that rumor, tell where will it end
Got the same old blues, it's the same old blues again

Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around
Baby got a man, Lord way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where will this end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

I got the blues, same old blues
