A Nightingale Can Sing the Blues Julie London

[Verse]
Ain't it a shame he had to go and grieve me
Some other dame has made him up and leave me
That's how it happens, a ​nightingale can sing the blues

[Verse]
I'll put it straight, he's got himself a new bird
Gave me the gate and now I'm just a blue bird
That's how it happens, a nightingale can sing the blues

[Bridge]
He can take me and forsake me, just as quick as that
Where there's someone new in town
But I'm bettin' he'll be frettin' for his old job back
When his brand new lady love has let him down

[Verse]
You take my word, there ain't no use of preachin'
I've got a bird who's gonna get some teachin'
Then he'll discover a nightingale can sing the blues

[Verse]
You take my word, there ain't no use of preachin'
I've got a bird who's gonna get some teachin'
Then he'll discover a nightingale can sing the blues
