Origineel
[Verse 1]
Have you heard that rumour
That’s going around?
You got a man
Way across town
It’s the same old story
Tell me when does it end?
[Refrain]
Yes I heard the news
It’s the same old blues again
[Verse 2]
Well I wrote you a letter
You must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway
Ah, but you were gone
I took a lot of time
And let your telephone ring
[Refrain]
It’s the same old blues
The same old blues again
[Verse 3]
When you give me the business
You know I get a mind
Cause I’ve got a lot of patience
And I got a lot of time
It’s the same old story
Tell me where does it end?
[Refrain]
It’s the same old blues
It’s the same old blues again
[Verse 4]
Gonna find me a mountain
Gonna hide out
Ain’t talking to you
And I ain’t coming out
Yes, I heard the rumour
Tell me where does it end?
[Refrain]
It’s the same old blues
It’s the same old blues again
[Outro]
Oh, oh, baby baby baby
What’d you make me do
I don’t know where I am
It’s the same old blues
Same old blues again
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well you gave me the business
Gave me the business
It’s the same old blues
Same old blues again
Well you gave me the blues
Same old blues again
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Heb je dat gerucht gehoord
That’s going around?
Je hebt een man
Ver door de stad
It’s the same old story
Vertel me wanneer het eindigt?
[Refrein]
Ja ik hoorde het nieuws
It’s same old blues again
[Verse 2]
Nou ik heb je een brief geschreven
Je moet hem verkeerd gelezen hebben
Ik stond voor je deur
Ah, maar je was weg
Ik nam veel tijd
en liet je telefoon rinkelen
[Refrein]
It’s the same old blues
The same old blues again
[Verse 3]
When you give me the business
You know I get a mind
Cause I’ve got a lot of patience
And I got a lot of time
It’s the same old story
Tell me where does it end?
[Refrein]
It’s the same old blues
It’s the same old blues again
[Verse 4]
Gonna find me a mountain
Gonna hide out
Ain’t talking to you
And I ain’t coming out
Yes, I heard the rumour
Tell me where does it end?
[Refrein]
It’s the same old blues
It’s the same old blues again
[Outro]
Oh, oh, baby baby baby
What’d you make me do
I don’t know where I am
It’s the same old blues
Same old blues again
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well you gave me the business
Gaf me de business
It’s the same old blues
Same old blues again
Well you gave me the blues
Same old blues again
