Lyrics

  1. Oh, what a fool I was to ever part
    From that old gal of mine
    When I was blue she used to soothe my heart
    With rays of golden sunshine
    But what a difference since she’s gone
    Life don’t seem the same
    If she’d only take me back
    I’d take all the blame, ’cause

Refrain:
Maybe she’s lonesome, maybe she’s glad
Feeling unhappy, she may be sad
Maybe, who knows?
Maybe she’s living, happy and wed
Maybe she’s loving someone instead
Maybe, who knows?
While I’m just sighing, crying fills my heart
My broken heart
Morning, dawning, brings no change but sorrow
Maybe she needs me, maybe she’s blue
Maybe she loved me more than I knew
Maybe, who knows?

  1. I get the blues when I am all alone
    With no one by my side
    I feel so bad, my eyes fill up with tears
    And sometime I have to hide
    Every time I think of her
    I just heave a sigh
    If she don’t come back to me
    I will surely die, ’cause
