Extra verses:
 
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
 
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
 
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
 
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
 
 
I should care if the wind blows east or west
 
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
 
I should mind if they say it can't be true
 
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

very nice lead sheet, where did the alternate verses come from? I had trouble fitting them in as verses.
