Lyrics

1. My gal has left me all alone
   That’s why I’m feeling blue
   IF she don’t come back mighty soon
   I don’t know what I’ll do
   I get a letter every day
   She tells me not to fret
   But I’m unhappy, I’m so unhappy
   Seems I never can forget

Chorus:
Since my gal is gone I’ve got the blues
Every day I’m waiting for some news
I’m worried all day long
I sing a crying song
Lordy how I miss her, how I long to kiss her
Gee! my love is strong
Since my dear, sweet mama’s gone away
I can’t eat my three square meals a day
It’s tough when you must lose
The baby doll you choose
Since my gal is gone I’ve got the blues

2. She had the sweetest little ways
   I loved my baby so
   And when it came to making love
   She taught me all I know
   Now I just sit all night and dream
   Of days that used to be
   But I’m so lonely, when she gets lonely
   Maybe she’ll come back to me
