I guess there’s not much I can do or say
Saw my baby with another guy today
Though I love her and I try to tell her so
It’s hello blues and down the road I go

Well I’ve never seen that guy before today
He held my baby in close this way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know
It’s hello blues and down the road I go

Well it seemed our thoughts were much alike,
Our likes were much the same
We even had our future planned
‘Til in the town he came

Well I’ve never seen that guy before today
He held my baby in close this way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know
It’s hello blues and down the road I go

Well it seemed our thoughts were much alike,
Our likes were much the same
We even had our future planned
‘Til in the town he came

Well I’ve never seen that guy before today
He held my baby in close this way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know
It’s hello blues and down the road I go…
