[Verse] Ain't it a shame he had to go and grieve me Some other dame has made him up and leave me That's how it happens, a ​nightingale can sing the blues [Verse] I'll put it straight, he's got himself a new bird Gave me the gate and now I'm just a blue bird That's how it happens, a nightingale can sing the blues [Bridge] He can take me and forsake me, just as quick as that Where there's someone new in town But I'm bettin' he'll be frettin' for his old job back When his brand new lady love has let him down [Verse] You take my word, there ain't no use of preachin' I've got a bird who's gonna get some teachin' Then he'll discover a nightingale can sing the blues [Verse] You take my word, there ain't no use of preachin' I've got a bird who's gonna get some teachin' Then he'll discover a nightingale can sing the blues
