Mister, You've Gone and Got the Blues - Freddy Cole/Houston Person
Composed by:B. Eckstine/B. Russell
Mister say anything you choose
If you cover your eyes some morning
Trying vainly to blot out her face
But your memories give fair warning
That the past isn't easy to erase
When you stop and you stare
But never notice what was there
Mister you've gone and got the blues
When your friends point a finger at you
'Cause you're starting to look like you feel
And you say to yourself is that you?
With a heartache a mirror can reveal
When a comforting word
Becomes a noise that's never heard
Mister you've gone and got the blues
Well how do I know?
Well mister if you take a look at yours truly
You will see
That some time ago
The blues was the finger man
That suddenly cornered me
So you walk where the shadows hide you
'Cause your tears can get out of control
But I know what goes on inside you
For your eyes are the windows of your soul
When you're wondering what
Can be this feeling that you've got
Mister you've gone and got the blues
How do I know?
Well mister if you take a look at yours truly
You will see
That some time ago
The blues was the finger man
That suddenly cornered me
So you walk where the shadows hide you
'Cause your tears can get out of control
But I know what goes on inside you
For your eyes are the windows of your soul
When you're wondering what
Can be this feeling that you've got
Mister say anything you choose
But you've gone and got the blues
The blues
