Lady sing the blues so well
As if she mean it
As if it´s hell down here
In the smoke-filled world
Where the jokes are cold
They don´t laugh at jokes
They laugh at tragedies

Corner street societies
But they believe her
They never leave her
While she sings she make them feel things
She says, i can sing this song so blue
That you will cry in spite of you
Little wet tears on your baby´s shoulder
Little wet tears on your baby´s shoulder

And I have walked these streets so long
There ain´t nothing right, there ain´t nothing wrong
But the little wet tears on my baby´s shoulder
The little wet tears on your baby´s shoulder

Lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regret
Takes a look around, no regrets, no regrets
Stretches out like branches of a poplar tree
She says, i´m free
Sings so soft as if she´ll break, says
I can sing this song so blue
That you will cry in spite of you
Little wet tears on your baby´s shoulder
Little wet tears on your baby´s shoulder

I have walked these streets so long
There ain´t nothing right, nothing wrong
But the little wet tears on my baby´s shoulder
The little wet tears on your baby´s shoulder

But on this stage
I´ve learned to fly
Learned to sing
And learned to cry
Little wet tears on my baby´s shoulder
Little wet tears on my baby´s shoulder

But now it´s time
To say goodbye
Some might laugh
But I will surely cry
Little wet tears on my baby´s shoulder
Little wet tears on my baby´s shoulder

Lady lights a cigarette
Puffs away, and winter comes
And she forgets
