A Nightingale Can Sing the Blues

And now I'm just a blue bird

That's how it happens

A nightingale can sing the blues

He can take me and forsake me

Just as quick as that

When there's someone new in town

But I'm bettin' he'll be frettin' for his old job back

When his brand new lady love has let him down

You take my word, there ain't no use a-preachin'

I got a bird who's gonna get some teachin'

Then he'll discover, a nightingale can sing the blues

You take my word, there ain't no use a-preachin'

I got a bird who's gonna get some teachin'

Then he'll discover, a nightingale can sing the blues
