they gave in to the blues [*]
There's a women in this town Drownin' in a river of her own tears Cryin' for a man who's name she can't remember 'Cause it's been too many years  Made up her mind the day he left her behind She'd never find a man like him again So she closed the door and never looked any more So of course she's been alone since then  She gave in to the blues So you know she just had to lose Soon as she gave in to the blues  There's a man who won't try her, why He says only fools even play the game Never have the breaks, the money that it takes So he says he's not to blame  Started to drink, the day he started to think The world was out to bring him down for good So he close the door and drank a little bit more And went down just like they said he would  He gave in to the blues So you know he just had to lose Soon as he give in to the blues  They give in to the blues So you know they just had to lose Soon as they give in to the blues  No, don't you give in to the blues No, no, don't you give in to the blues No, don't you give in  Don't you give in, don't you give up, don't you give out Don't you give in to the blues No, no, don't you give in to the blues
