I met her standing at the wishing well
She had more secrets than an old hotel
It didn't take long to fall under her spell
She was a little like drinking till daylight

Put on my best face said How do you do
You look like you'd be worth a killin' or two
I believe you could drive away a crazy man's blues
You're little like howling at midnight

Oh baby I was born with the blues
A lifetime of heartache is all I can lose
But I knew I could sing old folk songs for you
The minute my eyes fell on you
When my hungry eyes fell on you

Now when a man falls in love he loses it all
He's like a street corner preacher answering the call
Like a four flusher gambler betting it all
Who gives a damn about tomorrow

He's living for love as long as it lasts
But sometimes this old world just turns too fast
Leaves a man looking into an empty class
Or singing a song of sweet sorrow

Oh baby I was born with the blues
A lifetime of heart ache is all I can lose
I knew I could sing old love songs for you
The minute my eyes fell on you
When my hungry eyes fell on you
