Blues stay away from me
Uh-uh-uh, blues why don't you let me be
I don't know why you keep a-haunting me

True love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
It seems somehow we never can agree

My life is full of misery
And dreams are like a memory,
they're bringing back your love that used to be

I got teardrops so many I can't see
And years don't mean a thing to me
But time goes by and still I can't be free

Uh-uh-uh, blues stay away from me,
You hear me, blues why don't you let me be,
I don't know why you keep a-haunting me,
No, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me,
Oh, I don't know why you keep a-haunting me
