Mood Indigo Songtext
von Duke Ellington and His Cotton Club Orchestra

You ain′t been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you′ve had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go ′long blues".


Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin′ when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

′Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I′m just a soul who's
Bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.
