Go Back

Moody Blue

Words & Music by Mark James, Elvis Presley

Well, it's hard to be a gambler
Bettin' on the number
That changes ev'ry time
Well, you think you're gonna win
Think she's givin' in
A stranger's all you find
Yeah, it's hard to figure out
What she's all about
That she's a woman through and through
She's a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Well, when Monday comes she's Tuesday,
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday,
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal,
She's not the person that
I though I knew
She's a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Mark James wrote and recorded Moody Blue (Mercury 73718) in 1974. His recording did not chart.

Elvis recorded Moody Blue one night of February 4-5, 1976, at Graceland. String and horns, which were arranged by Bergen White, were overdubbed later. Moody Blue had a 13-week stay on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, peaking at #31. It reached number one (paired with She Thinks I Still Care) for one week on the country chart and #2 on the Easy-Listening chart.
