—Bill Monroe
You went away to leave me here
To find somebody new
You're happy now with your new love
And I'm alone and blue
Chorus:
Shadows a creepin' around my door
The sun will soon go down
The nightbirds are cryin' away on the mountain
I'm the bluest man in town
You took away the love we knew
You wrecked our happy home
You left me with a broken heart
So blue and all alone
