"Mood Indigo" — Duke Ellington's blue lament.
Writer(s): eaton/mills/bigard
You aint been blue; no, no, no.
You aint been blue,
Till youve had that mood indigo.
That feelin goes stealin down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "go long blues".
Always get that mood indigo,

Bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.
