I was hopin' you'd be gone tonight when I got home   What are you still waiting for?   You're probably thinking that she won't like it where's she's at   And she'll come knocking on my door   I used to believe that too, oh, but I don't anymore      So go away, blues don't hang around   She's gone, let me love again somehow   I've tried but I could not make her stay   So be like her and go away      Well, here we are again, my old foul-weather friend   Not much left to talk about   We've cried and shared some laughs, reminiscing this and that   But it all seems so tiresome now   You've been good company but you wore your welcome thin      So go away, blues don't hang around   She's gone, let me love again somehow   I've tried but I could not make her stay   So be like her and go away      Go away, blues don't hang around here   She's gone, let me love again somehow   I've tried but I could not make her stay   So be like her and go away
