Lyrics
1. I was sad, I was blue
I used to sigh the whole night through
But now I’m just as happy as can be
Ain’t you heard, can’t you guess
Just how I found my happiness
Tain’t nothing else but love that happened to me
Chorus:
I’m saying never again will I be lonely
I’m saying never again will I complain
Two lovin’ eyes, like the skies, full of sunshine
They smiled away all the rain
Wait until you see ’em
Time and again down to the river
I wandered time and again
Those days are through
They say that everybody meets a body, so did I
Ain’t nobody ever gonna hear me sigh
No never again will I be blue
2. I was pale, I was thin
Just gettin’ down to bones and skin
The doctor said I simply couldn’t last
Didn’t mind, didn’t care
My woes were much too much to bear
But doctor love came ’round and he cured me fast
Chorus:
I’m saying never again will I be lonely
I’m saying never again will I complain
Two lovin’ eyes, like the skies, full of sunshine
They smiled away all the rain
Wait until you see ’em
Time and again down to the river
I wandered time and again
Those days are through
One day I laid down on the railroad track to meet my fate
Gee! I’m glad the dog-gone train was two weeks late
No never again will I be blue
