A Stranger Called The Blues (Mono)

June Christy

Lyrics
I met up with a stranger this evening
After you turned me down
A sad lookin' Joe who chased me all over town
But when you're feeling lonely you welcome anyone
Who offers you a shoulder to use
So I'm making friends with a stranger called the blues

He was standing behind me this evening
I guess he could hardly wait
For you to reveal the words that would seal my fate
He's setting you the score, he's been around before
When love has worn a hole in its shoes
So here I sit with a stranger called the blues

B is for the bitter tears I'm tasting
L is for the lonely nights I'll know
U, you've found another heart to play with
E means I envy the so and so

So we ended a romance this evening
That bitter sweet trade
Cause you little fool forgot every rule we made
To you our love became a stupid little game
No runs, no hits, one error, guess who's
When I wound up with a stranger called the blues

A trouble ridden good for nothing stranger
Called the blues
