Verse:

I'm just a wom -an, a -lone -ly wom -an Wait -in' on the wear -y shore.

I'm just a wom -an that's on -ly hu -man, One you should be sor -ry for.

Got up this morn -in' a -long a -bout dawn, With -out a warn -in' I found he was gone.

Why should he do it? How could he do it? He nev -er done it be -fore.

 

Chorus:

Am I blue? Am I blue?

Ain't these tears in these eyes tel -lin' you?

Am I blue? You'd be too

If each plan with your man done fell through.

Was a time I was his on -ly one,

But now I'm the sad and lone -ly one, "Law -dy,"

Was I gay? 'til to -day,

Now he's gone and we're through, Am I blue?.
