Mood Indigo

(album: Bennett Sings Ellington: Hot & Cool - 1999)

You ain't been blue, no, no, no
You ain't been blue
'Til you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, go 'long blues

Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said "Goodbye"
In the evening, when lights are low
I'm so lonesome, I could cry, uh-huh
'Cause there's nobody cares about me
I'm just a soul whose bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die

Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said "Goodbye"
In the evening, in the evening, when the lights are low
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a soul whose bluer than blue can be
When I get, when I get, when I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
