Have you heard that rumor that's going around?
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway but you was gone
I took a lot of time and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

When you give me the business, well did in your mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
It's the same old blues, 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 heart that rumor, tell me where does it end?
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
