You wanna know why I’m cryin’ the blues,
And why I’m feelin’ so bad?
You wanna know why I’m buyin’ the blues,
And why I’m miser’bly, frightfully, mournfully, rightfully sad?
Well, now, I had a guy.
He took a train.
Why did he go?
Who can explain?
It was a great love story.
Now it’s just bad news.
Thought he was fair, thought he was kind.
Funny how life changes your mind.
It was a great love story.
Now it’s just bad news.
He was my one and only
Now I’m lady lonely,
Wondrin’ will he return?
My heart is aching;
Here’s the point I’m making,
Women don’t, women won’t learn.
Tried to do right.
Guess I did wrong.
Now ev’ry night lingers too long.
Yes, it was some love story.
Now its just bad news.
I had a guy.
He took a train.
Why did he go?
Who can explain?
It was a great love story.
Now it’s just bad news.
It was a great love story.
Now it’s just bad news.
