NOTHING NEW BLUE Sitting by the river On a dam hot summer’s day Baby said she loved me And then she went away Oh, what’s new Tell me what’s new She said she’d love me forever But forever ‘s come and gone And nothings new The bullfrogs are chirpin’ The birds flock overhead My simple heart is hurtin’ Sad bad thoughts fill up my head Oh, what’s new Tell me what’s new She said she’d love me forever But forever’s come and gone My baby’s gone And nothing’s new She was my one and only And only she would do Do you think she could have told me Told me we were through She use to like to brag Brag I was her man Her man is now something different I guess that was her plan So what is new I guess that’s nothing new She said she would love me forever… © McGie/Lundquist
