[Chorus]
Blue me, blue me
Blue is the color
That fits best on me
I'm blue
Just as blue as can be
Blue me, Blue me

[Verse 1]
I cry
And I die
I lie awake at night
And I question why
Must it be
I can never be free
Blue me, Blue me

[Verse 2]
My heart is heavy
But it's empty inside
No one to love me
Or to lay down beside
I'm blue
The queen of sorrow
Wears royal blue
My luck ain't changing
Is it ever going to
I'm blue, Oh I'm blue
Why must I wear this robe of blue misery
Blue me, Blue me
Ooh

[Verse 3]
This sad old feeling
Is breaking me down
No satisfaction with these blues hanging round
Lord, I'm blue
Oh, I'm so blue Why can't I shake it tell me where will this end
When will I get out of this blue rut I'm in
Oh, I'm blue
Looks like the blues just took a liking to me

[Chorus]
Blue me, blue me
Blue is the color
That fits best on me
I'm blue
Just as blue as can be
Blue me, Blue me

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
