As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW, February 1928, New York:

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye blues
I mix my joy and sorrow livin' as I choose
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye blues
I haven't got a thing to lose

So I just roll along, havin' my ups, havin' my downs
Havin' my ups and downs all day long
When it's a love affair, maybe it's hot, maybe it's cold
Whether it's hot or cold, I don't care

When my sweetie turns me down
That don't worry me
So I just go along, havin' my ups, havin' my downs
Havin' my ups and downs all day long

So I just roll, roll, roll along, havin' my ups, havin' my downs
Havin' my ups and downs all day long
When it's a love, love, love affair, maybe it's hot, maybe it's cold
Whether it's hot or cold, I don't care

When my sweetie turns me down
That don't worry me
So I just go along, havin'my ups, havin' my downs
Havin' my ups and downs all day long

(Instrumental Break)

Girlfriends, boyfriends, old and new
May go away and leave me, that won't make me blue
Brothers, sisters, sweeties too
My gloomy days are mighty few

So I just roll along, havin' my ups and havin' my downs
And havin' my ups and downs all day long
When it's a love affair, maybe it's hot and maybe it's cold
And whether it's hot or cold, I don't care

When my sweetie turns me down
That don't worry me
So I just go along, havin' my ups, havin' my downs
Havin' my ups and downs all day long

That's all!
