A Stranger Called the Blues Lyrics by June Christy

Something Cool

1954

[Verse 1]
I met up with a stranger this evening
After you turned me down
A sad lookin' Joe who chased me all over town
But when you're feelin' lonely you welcome anyone
Who offers you a shoulder to use
So I'm makin' friends with a stranger called the blues
[Verse 2]
He was standin' behind me this evenin'
I guess he could hardly wait
For you to reveal the words that would seal my fate
He said he knew the score, hе's been around before
When lovе has worn a hole in its shoes
So here I sit with a stranger called the blues
[Bridge]
"B" is for the bitter tears I'm tasting
"L" is for the lonely nights I'll know
"U," you've found another heart to play with
"E" means I envy the so and so
[Verse 3]
So we ended a romance this evening
That bitter sweet charade
'Cause you, little fool, forgot every rule we made
To you our love became a stupid little game
No runs, no hits, one error, guess who's
When I wound up with a stranger called the blues
[Outro]
A travel ridden, good for nothin' stranger called the blues
