| Song | Mood Indigo |
| Artist | Duke Ellington |
| Album | Black, Brown & Beige (The 1944-1946 Band Recordings) |
| You ain't been blue; no, no, no. | |
| You ain't been blue, | |
| Till you've had that mood indigo. | |
| That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes | |
| While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues". | |
| Always get that mood indigo, | |
| Since my baby said goodbye. | |
| In the evenin' when lights are low, | |
| I'm so lonesome I could cry. | |
| 'Cause there's nobody who cares about me, | |
| I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be. | |
| When I get that mood indigo, | |
| I could lay me down and die. |
