Standard (EADGBE)

I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown

Now I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I laid back down again

Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again

My baby, oh my baby, I love the way she walks

And when my girl gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks

My work done got scarce, honey, my work it done got hard,

I spend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, from the rich folks yard

Whistling - , , ,

I got the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown

You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama, and stay all day

I don't care if I don't do nothing, just while my time away

I got the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown

You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town
