Anthem For The Blues by Bugs Henderson Lyrics

Found a note on the table
It was cut and dry, signed, 'I love you'
She finally found someone to save her
From the hell that I put her through
Ain't no use in me cryin'
Ain't no way, no way she's comin' home
And it hurts so bad, I must be dyin'
My sweet sweet babe left me all alone

Wish that I could take it back
Situations looking black
Cause we had it all
I had to fall
That's the anthem for the blues
I got straight too late

Saw some sunshine for a moment
Best shot I ever had
Such a love, such a woman
But I messed it up
I messed it up real bad
I'm gonna put a candle in the window
If she drives by, I know she'll see
Lord, I can change as long as she knows
I kicked it all when she left me

Wish that I could take it back
Situations looking black
Cause we had it all
I had to fall
That's the anthem for the blues
I got straight too late
