Have I Got Some Blues for You
Heartbreak Echo: Charley Pride's Blues Revelation
Lyrics
The one you love stopped by to see me today,
The person you love visited me today.
Said she just couldn't tell you she was goin' away
She couldn't bring herself to inform you about her departure.
I took her to the station, and I held her as she cried,
I accompanied her to the train station and comforted her while she cried.
And she asked me if I would tell you goodbye
She requested me to convey her goodbye to you.
Have I got some blues for you, your baby's gone
I have distressing news for you; your partner has left.
Have I got some blues for you, you're all alone
Now you're left alone, facing this situation.
I hate to be the one who has to bring you this bad news,
Regrettably, I'm the bearer of this unfortunate information.
Have I got some blues for you
These feelings of sadness and loneliness are what I'm conveying to you.
I wish you could've heard it on the news tonight,
I wish you had learned about this through some impersonal means.
Or read it in the mornin' paper in black and white
Either through a news report or in the morning newspaper.
Then I wouldn't have to be the one who breaks your heart in two,
It would have spared me from being the one to shatter your heart into pieces.
But she told me she'd found somebody new
She informed me that she has found someone else.
Have I got some blues for you, your baby's gone
Reiterating the sorrowful news that your beloved has departed.
Have I got some blues for you, you're all alone
Emphasizing the solitude and emotional struggle you now face.
I hate to be the one who has to bring you this bad news,
Unfortunately, I have the burden of conveying this distressing news to you.
Have I got some blues for you
Again, expressing the emotions of sadness and loneliness in this situation.
Have I got some blues for you
Once more, highlighting the blues and heartache that you're experiencing.
