Lyrics
- Blue, just blue over you
Seems that all my happiness
Turns to lonesomeness
Blue, just blue over you
I just wrote this little note only to confess
Chorus
Gee! I’m mighty blue for you
I was mighty true to you
I’ve decided something I did
Made you run away
Just what did I do or say?
When the mailman passes by
And the phone don’t ring, I cry
While you whisper ‘Nighty Nighty”
To somebody else
I’m mighty blue
- Blue, just blue over you
Seems that nearly every day
Bad luck comes my way
Days go by, I just cry
You’d be here with me, my dear
If I had my way
