I had the blues so bad one time
It put my face into a permanent frown
Now I'm feeling so much better child
I could cakewalk into town

Honey I woke up this morning feelin' so
Good
You know I laid back down again
Throw your big leg over me mama
I might not feel this way again

My baby my baby
I do love the way she walks
And when my woman gets sleepy
I love the way she baby-talks

My work is getting scarce
Oh baby my work it done got hard
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens
Honey from the rich folks yards

I would love to take a picnic in the
country
Be with you and stay all day
Live like you love and while my
time away

I had the blues so bad one time
It put my face in a permanent frown
Now I'm feeling so much better child
I could cakewalk into town
