I gotta' heart that's broken-hearted
How do I mend it?
I gotta' cryin' jack you started
How do I end it?
But if you're feelin' gloomy
Come a-runnin' to me
Meet me where they play the blues

Hey, people have said they've seen you dance in hideaway places
Say, people have said you find romance in other's embraces
But if your mood is dreamy and you care to see me
Meet me where they play the blues

Eyes that flirt with a tear are common round here
And misery loves company, they say
So, I hang around 'til dawn while that saxophone wails on
Hoping you'll happen this way
I'm gettin' tired of sippin' wine and watchin' bubbles
Why did our dreams get out of line and wind up in trouble?
But, honey, if you're learning
There's a flame still burning
Meet me where they play the blues

Meet me where they play the blues
