as recorded by Julie London

Every day, every day I have the blues,
Yes every day, every day I have the blues,
Well you see me worried baby, because it's you I hate to lose!

Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care,
Yes nobody loves me, nobody seems to care,
Speakin' of bad luck and trouble, well you know I've had my share!

I'm gonna pack up my suitcase and I'm movin' on down the line,
Yes I'm goin' to pack up my suitcase and I'm movin' down the line,
Well there ain't nobody worryin' and there ain't nobody cryin'!

Seems to me every day, every day I have the blues,
Yes it seems to me every day I have the blues,
You see me worried baby 'cause it's you I hate to lose!

Every day I have the blues,
Yes every day, every day I have the blues,
Well I ain't glad, I ain't sad, 
I ain't mad, but I been had!  
(Yes she's talkin' 'bout the lowdown blues that she's got)
 Every day!
