Red Sovine [among others] recorded-

Blue Must Be The Color Of the Blues

Think George Think Jones did also
May not be the version you seek!

Gene, did I misunderstand you? Are you offering the lyrics, or, are the records for sale? Smitty

(Blue Must Be) THE COLOR OF THE BLUES
Recorded by: George Jones
Writers: George Jones & Lawton Williams

Up above me are the skies
Like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the color of the blues
In the mail your letter came
The ink and paper looked the same
Blue must be The Color Of The Blues.

Bluebird singing in the trees
Seems to sympathize with me
For he's not singin' like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea
Feel as cold as you left me
Yes, Blue must be The Color Of The Blues.

There's a rainbow overhead
With more Blue than Gold and Red
Blue must be the color Angels use
A Blue dress you proudly wore
When you left to return no more
Blue must be The Color Of The Blues.

Blue days come and blue days go
How I feel, nobody knows
Life is mighty empty witout you
There's a Blue note in each song
That I sing since you are gone
Yes, Blue must be The Color Of The Blues.

Thanks so much Gene!! I wish I could help you as much as you've helped me!! - I can offer many Jimmy Driftwood lyrics if you wish. ( I am a longstanding fan and performer of his stuff.) ( The guy who wrote Battle of New Orleans and Tenessee Stud.)

Thanks again, - Smitty.
