Gene Varner asked for this. The Nashville Number System is explained in
cowpie's Resources/Lessons. My explanation is #3, but all are good.

BLUE BOY, THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL ME
'CAUSE I'M SO LONELY, SINCE I LOST YOU.
BLUE BOY, I'M KNOWN AS BLUE BOY
YOU'VE FOUND A NEW BOY, AND NOW WE'RE THROUGH
(CHORUS)
I HAD A TWINKLE IN MY EYE
WHEN OUR SWEET LOVE WAS NEW
NOW ALL I DO IS MOAN AND CRY
AND HUNGER AFTER YOU.
BLUE BOY, I'LL BE A BLUE BOY
UNTIL YOU NEED ME, AS I NEED YOU.
