Everyday I have the blues
Everyday
Everyday I have the blues
Well, you see me worried, baby
Because it's you I hate to lose
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me
Nobody seems to care
Speaking of bad luck and trouble
Well, you know I've had my share
I'm gonna pack my suitcase
Moving on down the line
Oh, I'm gonna pack my suitcase
Move on down the line
Where there ain't nobody worried
And there ain't nobody crying
Seems to me every day, every day
Every day, I have the blues
Every day, every day, every day
Every day I have the blues
You see me worried, baby
Because it's you I hate to lose
Nobody loves me
Nobody seems to care
Nobody loves me
Nobody seems to care
Speaking of bad luck and trouble
Did you know I've done had my share
I'm packing up my suitcase
I'm moving down the line, yeah
Where there ain't nobody worried
And there ain't nobody crying
Every day
I have the blues
I have the blues
Every day
Every day
I have the blues
I have the blues
Every day
You see me worried, baby
'Cause it's you I hate to lose
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, I have the blues
Every day
Ooh

The lyrics suggest that the singer feels neglected and unloved, and that his or her troubles and worries are mounting. The lyrics express that every day is a struggle to get through, and that the weight of this struggle is almost too much to bear.
The refrain "Everyday, everyday I have the blues" reinforces the sense of daily despair the lyrics create. The simile "When you see me worryin', baby, yeah, it's you I hate to lose" suggests that the singer is missing a loved one who provided care and support in the past, but who is now gone. The repeated line "Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care" underscores the feeling of loneliness and isolation that the singer is experiencing.

NOBODY Swung like THE COUNT! Add the great Joe Williams and the world’s greatest Bassist, My Man CLEVE EATON (RIP, recently passed), and this is as good as it gets. => “Every Day I Have the Blues”… Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care... When you see me worrin’ Baby, it’s you I hate to lose... Maybe the greatest song EVER. It just doesn't get any better than this.
