Mood Indigo (Duke Ellington cover) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evening when lights are low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just as blue as blue could be
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
[Bridge]
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head, ooh ooh ooh
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head, ooh hoo, yeah
Woke up this morning
But I'd be better off dead, uh-huh
[Verse 3]
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"
[Bridge]
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head, woo
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head
Woke up this morning
But I'd be better off dead, uh-huh
[Outro]
Take it away boys, yeah
Come on, play that thing, oh oh
Yeah, woo
[Instrumental]
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 evening when lights are low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just as blue as blue could be
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head, ooh ooh ooh
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head, ooh hoo, yeah
Woke up this morning
But I'd be better off dead, uh-huh
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"
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head, woo
Blues on my mind
Blues all around my head
Woke up this morning
But I'd be better off dead, uh-huh
Take it away boys, yeah
Come on, play that thing, oh oh
Yeah, woo
