Ellington, Mills: Mood Indigo

You ain't been blue, no, no, no

You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo

That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes

While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues"

Always get that mood indigo

Since my baby said goodbye

In the evenin' when lights are low

I'm so lonesome I could cry

'Cause there's nobody who cares about me

I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be

When I get that mood indigo

I could lay me down and die

You ain't been blue, no, no, no

You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo

That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes

While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues"
