Peggy Lee - A Nightingale Can Sing the Blues

Got my feathers burned

Got my lesson learned

Guess that I was born to lose

Take it straight from me, love is misery

Listen while I sing the blues

Ain't it a shame

He had to go and grieve me

Some other dame

Has made him up to leave me

That's how it happens

A nightingale can sing the blues

I'll put it straight

He's got his self a new bird

Gave me the gate

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

That's how it happens, a nightingale can sing the blues
