Married to the Blues Songtext
von Shemekia Copeland

I never win at love

At love I always lose
I keep looking for a good man
And I ain′t got no clue
I can't find no one to love me
I guess I′m married to the blues

Married to the blues

There's a picture by my bedside

In a frame that's got a crack

Of one of my old lover

Who ain′t never comin′ back
He swore he'd never leave me
Then I saw him start to pack

Start to pack

Oh, when you′re married
Married to the blues
You don't get no band of gold
All you get is a lonely cab ride
To a bed that′s always cold


When you're married to the blues
Forget that honeymoon
All you get is lukewarm lovin′
That's over way, way too soon

There's a letter in my pocket

It′s all torn
Torn and frayed
The only thing
Only thing he left me
When he ran, ran away

Yeah, when you′re married to the blues
It gets more lonely every day

Married to the blues

Oh, these blues

I knew he would leave me

He was never comin' back

He left me a torn letter

Then he ran away
Ran away
Married to the blues

Oh, these blues


You get so lonely
Lonely
Lonely, lonely
Married to the blues
