Colored Blues by Cherokee Rose Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna paint your pockets a pitiful shade of blue
'Cause I'm gonna take all your green away from you, baby
Going out to paint the town red
From one end to the other
Yes I am
I'm gonna send you packing home, little boy
All alone to your mother
Uh-huh

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm through
I'm through with messin' around with you
Yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah
You know I'm through with messin' around with you
You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown
And baby, I ain't taking it laying down
No, no

[Verse 2]
Gonna find me a new dress
Something sweet and pale yellow
I'm gonna find me a new lover man who's cool and oh so mellow, baby
I'm taking everything
Even the kitchen sink
Yes I am
I'll tell ya, baby
The last thing you'll see of me are the
Taillights of my Cadillac, pretty pink
Uh-huh
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm through
I'm through with messin' around with you
Uh-huh
Yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah
You know I'm through with messin' around with you
You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown
And baby, I ain't taking it laying down
No, no
Tell me 'bout it

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm through
I'm through with messin' around with you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah
You know I'm through with messin' around with you
Uh-huh
You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown
And baby, I ain't taking it laying down
No, no

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna paint your pockets a pitiful shade of blue
'Cause I'm gonna take all your green away from you daily
Going out to paint the town red
From one end to the other
Uh-huh
I'm gonna send you packing home, little boy
All alone to your mother
She gonna ask you why
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm through
Yeah, I'm through with messin' around with you
Uh-huh
Yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah
You know I'm through with messin' around with you
Uh-huh
You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown
And baby, I ain't taking it laying down
No
Get outta here
