Today I Sing the Blues Songtext
von Aretha Franklin with The Ray Bryant Combo

Without a word of warning
The blues walked in this morning
And circled around my lonely room
I didn′t know why I had that sad and lonely feeling
Until my baby called and said we we're through, ooh

For yesterday, this time
I sang a love story
But today, I′m singing the blues
Hmm-mmm


It strikes me kind of funny
How love can be this way
We were lovers last night, honey
But I'm alone again today
And this strikes me kind of funny
How fate can be unfair
I come right on the losing end

In every, every love affair
Yes, it must be, it must be written for me
That I should be the one
Be the one to always lose

For yesterday, yesterday, this time
I sang a love song
Oh, oh, but right now I'm singing the blues
Oh, yeah
