Poinsetta With a Touch of the Blues – Brookside Gardens

I said it wasn’t long ago I was doing real good.
Don’t you know my baby was acting like a sweet girl should.
But she found another – whoa Lord – and I got the news
And now I’m here suffering from a touch of the blues.

My friends say I look bad, and I guess they are right.
I can’t eat or sleep – no, no baby –
I toss and turn all night my eyes are all red –
Whoa Lord – and I’m dragging my shoes.
But I’m not really worried – no, no baby
It’s just a touch of the blues

I went to see my doctor but he said I was alright;
I didn’t get a prescription just some good advice:
He said to forget you – whoa Lord – and stop being your fool
If you wanted to lose this touch of the blues.

Oh, I guess time will ease this pain in my heart
Then I’ll find a new lover baby oh Lord and make a brand new start
Then I’ll hope that she’ll love me – oh Lord – and always be true
And don’t leave me here suffering with a touch of the blues.
