Jamey's got the blues
Day after day
After day
I know it must be somethin' deep
'Cause there's nothin' I can say
That helps to ease the pain
You know I can see in those troubled eyes
The skies are grey
And it looks like Jamey's blues are bound to stay

He knows I really care
Enough to reach out
A friendly hand
But even so, I guess
He doesn't think I'd understand
That when a man is down
Down is a rough and a lonely place
For someone to be
And it looks like Jamey's blues won't set him free

And Jamey's got the blues
Jamey's got the blues
Jamey's got the blues
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La Yeah

And I remember nights
Jamey and I
Would do the town
But now, he never leaves his room
And whenever I'm around
There's just not much to say
It's almost as if we were strangers there
Just filling the room
And it looks like Jamey's blues became his tomb

Jamey's got the blues
Jamey's got the blues
Jamey's got the blues
Jamey's got the blues
