"Melancholy Blues"
by Marty Bloom and Walter Melrose
Copyright 1927 by Melrose Music Corp.

VERSE:
Way down in my heart deep, the blues just make me weep
Ev'-ry eve-nin', when the sun goes down
Friends that I used to know don't e-ven say hell-o
By my win-dow, they leave me weep-in'

CHORUS 1:
I'm so mel-an-chol-y, I'm just as blue and lone-some as can be
How can I be jol-ly, when no-bod-y cares 'bout me?
Just like the flow-ers need the sun, and crave the dew when day is done
I need some-one to tell my trou-bles to
But it just seems, that no one wants me
That's why I've got the Mel-an-chol-y Blues

CHORUS 2:
I'm so mel-an-chol-y, I'm just as blue and lone-some as can be
How can I be jol-ly, when no-bod-y cares 'bout me?
I wake up at the dawn of day and grab the pil-low where I lay
and pray I'll find some-one to love me true
But it just seems, that no one wants me
That's why I've got the Mel-an-chol-y - Blues
