LYRICS

I've got the blues

Them mean old worries on my mind, I'm feeling sad

I've got the blues

Lost the truest pal I've ever had

Can't figure why

I only know I'm all alone and feeling bad

Don't understand

She left me here alone and didn't tell me why

Another man

Must have won her lovin' on the sly

But I'll be fair

I'll catch a shootin' star and bid my blues goodbye

A rainy day

Is always followed by the sun up in the sky

So when you're down

You'll find the silver lining if you try

But if you can't find it

Then catch a shootin' star and bid your blues goodbye

I'm gonna ride

The Milky Way out where the moon is hangin' low

I'm gonna leave

My cares and worries with the world below

I'm headIn' where

I'll never see my lovin' baby's face no more
