I asked my baby to come down and help me go my bail But the woman left me stranded people Oh in the county jail That's why that's why that's why my guitar sings the Blues I'm gonna tell everybody the news, she makes my guitar sing the Blues
I saw a fella come to her door, and she answered it with a smile It almost blew my mind people, when she pulled down the blind Oh that's why that's why you hear my guitar singin' the Blues I really paid my dues people, Oh the girl makes my guitar sing the Blues
You know I was hopin' my baby would come back and sing a different tune But when I had a chance to ask her people she said No no time soon That's why that's why that's why you hear my guitar singin' the Blues Sometimes I may sound a little confused, she makes my guitar sing the Blues
You know I thought I'd call my baby, because I missed her so much since she been gone Just when I thought she'd say yeah, they disconnected my telephone Oh That's why that's why that's why you hear my guitar singin' the Blues Gonna tell everybody the news, she makes my guitar sing the Blues.
