Then You've Never Been Blue (Let No Man Write My Epitaph) - Ella Fitzgerald

If you’ve never had to count a million sheep

Then you’ve never been blue, never been blue

If you’ve never had to cry yourself to sleep

Then you’ve never been blue, never been blue

I know I could go on laughing and troubled

Plain trouble

But when it concerns the heart

The pain seems doubled

Never worry about a little hurt or two

There’s nothing at all bothering you

If you’ve never had a pal who stole your gal

Then you’ve never known you’ve never been blue

Something that this life will mind is plain, honey

That’s funny

When you’re miles away from home

It’s not so sunny

No one ever knows what I go through

While someone at home is babying you

If you’ve never had to miss a goodnight kiss

Then you’ve never known you’ve never been blue
