I got a heart that’s broken hearted, how do I mend it?
I got a cryin’ jack you started, how do I end it?
But if you’re feelin’ gloomy
Come a-runnin’ to me
Meet me where they play the blues

Hey, people have said they’ve seen you dance in hideaway places,
Say, people have said you find romance in others’ embraces,
But if your mood is dreamy,
And you care to see me,
Meet me where they play the blues.

Either flirt with a tear, are common round here,
And misery loves company, they say
So I hang around till dawn 
While that saxophone wails on
Hopin’ you’ll happen this way

I’m getting’ tired of sippin’ wine, and watchin’ bubbles
Why did I dream, get outa line, and wind up in trouble
Mmm, but Honey, if you’re learnin’
There’s a flame still burnin’
Meet me where they play the blues
Blee beep, blee beep, blee bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee,
Meet me where they play……….
The blues.
