Same Old Blues - Captain Beefheart

Have you heard that rumour

That’s going around?

You got another man

Way across town

It’s the same old story

Tell me when does it end?

Yes I heard the news

It’s the same old blues again

Well I wrote you a letter

You must have read it wrong

I stood at your doorway

Ah, but you were gone

I took a lot of time

And let your telephone ring

It’s the same old blues

The same old blues again

as version

When you give me the business

Well it didn’t mind

Cause I’ve got a lot of patience

And I got a lot of time

It’s the same old story

Tell me when does it end?

It’s the same old blues

The same old blues again

I said it’s the same old blues

The same old blues again

I’m gonna find me a mountain

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

Cause I said it’s the same old blues

The same old blues again
