have you heared the rumour
that's going around?
you got it made
way across town
it's the same old story
tell me where does it end?
yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again.
when I wrote you a letter
you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway
but you was gone
I took a lot of time
and let the telephone ring
it's the same old blues, the same old blues again.
I'm gonna find me a mountain
and I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you
and I ain't yet coming out
cause I heard that rumour
tell me where does it end?
yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again.
