[Verse 1]
I don't want no opera
No cha-cha, no mambo
My baby's gone and left me
And I'm feelin' mighty low
Mister piano man
Play me some down home blues
It's a story that's old
And can only be told with the blues

[Verse 2]
Let your left hand tell my misery
Your right hand tell my pain
When she left she took the sunshine
Left me standin' here in the rain
Mister piano man
Play me some down home blues
Let me sit here and brood
'Cause I'm just in the mood for the blues

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
Mister piano man
Now you know how I feel
Mistеr piano man
You know her love was real
Whеn a lover fades
Then a man's best friend is the blues
Mister piano man
Play me some down home blues
