Born to sing the blues So tired an' worn, just singin' the blues Alone right from the start, I walked alone with blues in my heart.
True love, (true love) I've never known (I've never known.) Everything (everything) I do is wrong. (all wrong.) But wrong, I've always been It's hard to go on when I never win.
--- Instrumental ---
My life, (my life) my destiny, (my destiny.) Is loneliness (lonliness) and misery. (misery.) My life, I didn't choose. I guess, I was born to sing the blues.
