MESS OF THE BLUES
(Doc Pomus / Mort Shuman)
Elvis Presley


I just got your letter baby 
Too bad you can't come home 
I swear I'm goin' crazy 
Sittin' here all alone 
Since you're gone 
I got a mess of blues 

I ain't slept a wink since Sunday 
I can't eat a thing all day 
Every day is just blue Monday 
Since you've been away 
Since you're gone 
I got a mess of blues 

Whoops there goes a teardrop 
Rollin' down my face 
If you cry when you're in love 
It sure ain't no disgrace 

I gotta get myself together 
Before I lose my mind 
I'm gonna catch the next train goin' 
And leave my blues behind 
Since you're gone 
I got a mess of blues 

Whoops there goes a teardrop 
Rollin' down my face 
If you cry when you're in love 
It sure ain't no disgrace 

I gotta get myself together 
Before I lose my mind 
I'm gonna catch the next train goin' 
And leave my blues behind 
Since you're gone 
I got a mess of blues 

Since you're gone I got a mess of the blues 
Since you're gone I got a mess of the blues
