Have you heard that rumour
That's going around
You got it made  way across town
It's the same old story
Tell me where does it end
Yes  I heard the news
It's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter
You must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway
But you was gone
I took a lot of courage
And let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues
Same old blues again
When you give me the business
You know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience
And I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story
Tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues
Same old blues again
I'm gonna find me a mountain
I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you
And I ain't coming out
Yeah  I heard that rumour
Tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues
Same old blues again
