lyrics

When you try so hard to smile.
And life does not seem worthwhile.
Then you can tell you're under the spell of the blues.
When you try to sleep it seems
Nightmares take the place of dreams.
Then you can tell , you're under the spell of the blues.
Some bad omen, like a hoodoo
Hovering over my head.
Not a jinx, not a voodoo.
Something much worse, oh it's a curse.
Shadows chasing after me.
Blue skies laughing at me.
Gee but it's hell , when you're under the spell of the blues.
