I can't break through your world 'Cause you live in shades of cool Your heart is unbreakable And when he calls He calls for me, not for you And I can't do nothing about his strange weather My baby lives in shades of blue Blue eyes and jazz and attitude

What a lonesome feeling When you buy yourself That's what I have today I've got to find my baby If it takes all night and day Blues with a feeling Blues with a feeling Yes the one that loved me Has gone off with someone else

Why don't you catch my pony, now saddle up my black mare? ...my pony, saddle up, up my black mare? You know, I'm gonna find my baby, well, in the world somewhere You know, he's a travelin' horse, an' he's too black bad He's a travelin' pony, I declare,
