C F
I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
C G
Now I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

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

Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
C F
My baby, oh my baby, I love the way she walks
C G
And when my girl gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
C F
My work done got scarce, honey, my work it done got hard,
C G
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, from the rich folks yard

Whistling - C, F, C, G

C F
I got the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
C G
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

C F
I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama, and stay all day
C G
I don't care if I don't do nothing, just while my time away

C F
I got the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
C G
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town
