此曲美村歌手George Jones他人所合,在1958年初由自己行曲。Jones於1954出道,之前曾有3首歌打排行榜前10名,算是才始有些知名度,此曲的成也不差,得第7名。Jones在2006接受提到,此曲然什大,得台多的播放,意思是也算意了。
歌曲的是男子因被女友而在自自艾,其中方寄他的信是用色墨水在色信上,而最人印象深刻的是一句:Yes, blue must be the color of the blues ( 是的,色一定是的色 )。此的Blues似不宜成「」。
翻唱此曲的知名歌手多,包含有Skeeter Davis、Loretta Lynn、Patty Loveless等,以下所是男歌手John Prine翻唱的版本,其中女歌手Susan Tedeschi客串合唱。1998,Prine的右部患了squamous cell carcinoma ( 胞癌 ),在手及化後了口腔的神胞,在正健後,音得沙。Prine曾度得葛美的殊,另在今年(2020)年初又得葛美「身成就」,不幸在4月因感染新冠肺炎COVID-19致症而世,享年73。

Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the colors of the blues
In the mail your letter came the ink and paper looked the same
Blue must be the color of the blues
Bluebird's singing in the trees seems to sympathize with me
But he ain't singing like he used to do
The pearly waters in the sea are as cold as you left me
Blue must be the color of the blues
There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels choose
A blue suit you proudly wore when you left to return no more
Blue must be the color of the blues
Blue days come and blue days go how I feel nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song that I sang since you've been gone
Blue must be the color of the blues
