You Really Taught Me How To Sing the Blues

© words & music: J. Hughes
(A special thanks to Ted, Frank, Phil, Michelle, & all the other pickers & singers who helped me on this one.)

Intro -4 bars-

I guess I should hate you hon for breaking my heart in two
And for all those lonely nights I cried over you
But instead I'll thank you girl for what you put me through
Cause you really taught me how to sing the blues

Yes you really taught me how to sing the blues with all my heart
And I don't think I would have learned if we were not apart
But after all those lonely nights you showed me something new
Yes you really taught me how to sing the blues

Middle -4 bars-

Well lesson number one was when I found the note you wrote
All the other lessons just became one big bad joke
Yes you really hurt me bad but now I'm thanking you
Cause you really taught me how to sing the blues

Yes you really taught me how to sing the blues with all my heart
And I don't think I would have learned if we were not apart
But after all those lonely nights I've learned something knew
Yes you really taught me how to sing the blues

Yes you really taught me how to sing the blues
