I was hopin you'd be gone

Tonight when I got home

What are you still waiting for

You're probably thinking that

She won't like it where's she's at

And she'll come knocking on my door

I used to believe that too

But I don't anymore



So go away, blues don't hang around

She's gone, let me love again somehow

I've tried, but I could not make her stay

So be like her and go away



Well, here we are again

My old foul-weather friend

Not much left to talk about

We've cried and shared some laughs

Reminiscing this and that

But it all seems so tiresome now

You've been good company

But you wore your welcome thin



So go away, blues don't hang around

She's gone, let me love again somehow

I've tried, but I could not make her stay

So be like her and go away
