Melancholy Blue Lyrics

Ever since I lost you babe
I've been here and there
Looking for some piece of mind,can't find it anywhere
I went down to Tunica,played me a little blackjack
Saw a wino on the corner gave my winnings back

If it was just money
Baby,I could make it
But living without you
Can I take it
All I see ahead of me
Is just melancholy blue
Cause I ain't got no future without you

I went down to Austin,lots of beautiful people there
Could have had a better adventure,I just didn't care
Got a job in California,they sure like my style
But there's something about that California sun
Reminds me of your smile

If it was just money
Baby,I could make it
But living without you
Can I take it
All I see ahead of me
Is just melancholy blue
Cause I ain't got no future without you

Now and then I go back to Biloxi
Whenever I feel brave
Visit that little country church down there
Lay some flowers on your grave
You sure got a hold on me,I don't want to do
I ain't got no future
I can't see no future without you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
