歌词
[Guitars and harmonica]
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', feelin' low and blue,
I said I woke up this mornin', feelin' low and blue.
With my baby gone, don’t know what I’m gonna do.
(Chorus)
Oh, the thrill is gone, yeah, the thrill is gone away,
The thrill is gone, baby, and I can’t make you stay.
But I'll keep on playin' these blues, until my dyin' day.
(Verse 2)
Used to be sunshine, now there's only rain,
I said it used to be sunshine, now there's only rain.
In the heart of the night, I can still feel your pain.
[Guitars and harmonica solo]
(Chorus)
Oh, the thrill is gone, yeah, the thrill is gone away,
The thrill is gone, baby, and I can’t make you stay.
But I'll keep on playin' these blues, until my dyin' day.
(Bridge)
My Lucille's cryin', tears on every string,
Oh, Lucille's cryin', tears on every string.
Without your sweet love, baby, it don’t mean a thing.
(Verse 3)
I'm walkin' these streets, with no place to go,
I said I'm walkin' these streets, with no place to go.
Every corner reminds me, of a love I used to know.
[Harmonica solo]
[Long loud guitars solo and harmonica]
(Chorus)
Oh, the thrill is gone, yeah, the thrill is gone away,
The thrill is gone, baby, and I can’t make you stay.
But I'll keep on playin' these blues, until my dyin' day.
(Outro)
So here's to the heartache, and the lessons learned,
I said here's to the heartache, and the lessons learned.
With every note I play, my soul still burns.
(Finale)
Oh, the thrill is gone, but the blues remain,
Yeah, the thrill is gone, but the blues remain.
In this world of sorrow, it’s a sweet refrain.
