Here Comes the Blues

Illinois Jacquet

Monday is shining

You know 'em Tuesday's rain

Well, the days go by me

Like a southbound train

Yes, it's funny thinking

You will never call my name

Here comes long lonely

Here comes the blues

Well, the world's the same old comedy

You know my time is cold

Nothing new, blue lady

I won't get old

Cause the deal is gone now

I'd just better hold

Here comes long lonely

Here comes the blues

Well, sun has run down

She has gone out to hide

Yes, and now I'm out walking

Where the midnight ride

Just me and the good-time Charlies

And the suicide

Here comes long lonely

Here comes the blues

Well, Monday's dry

Yes, and Tuesday's just the same

Maybe come down blue Wednesday

I'm gonna grab the brakes again

Cause no bottle of pills

Could ever kill this pain

Here comes long lonely

Here comes the blues

Here comes long lonely

Here comes the blues
