THE FLATLANDERS
"Blue Wind Blew"

Well, the blue wind's blown my dreams away
My true love's flown, she's gone to stay
Now all I've got is yesterday
And I don't know what to do

I guess I'll go downtown and see
Just what downtown can do for me
Maybe set my lonesome free
Or maybe let me go

I loved her true and I told her so
I asked her too and she told me no
She said she had somewhere to go
And then she said goodbye

I wonder how long it can go on
How long I'll sing this same old song
I wonder which one done us wrong
Which one forgot to try

I loved her true and I told her so
I asked her too and she told me no
She said she had somewhere to go
Then she said goodbye

The blue wind's blown my dreams away
My true love's flown, she's gone to stay
Now all I've got is yesterday
And I don't know what to do

I loved her true and I told her so
I asked her too and she told me no
She said she had somewhere to go
And then she said goodbye
