Lyrics
Sing me a sad song, and I'll be right on my way
A sad song like the songs of yesterday
Well, my father used to sing the blues
Sometimes it was good (huh)
But my mother never saw the use
And she chased him for his blood (yeah)
A sad song like the songs of yesterday
A sad song, and I'll be right on my way, yeah
Oh, you know my father always used to say
A bad workman blames his tools
But it seems to me
A man who uses the tools is just a fool
Sad song, I'll be right on my way
Sad song like the songs of yesterday
Well, now the streets are filled with silent cars
And all the world's a stage
But I must get to work today
Today I get my wage
Sad song
Then I'll be right on my way
Just like the songs of yesterday
Listen now to what I'm gonna say
