I had the blues, so bad one time
It put my face in a permanent frown
But I'm feeling so much better
I could cake walk 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
When the girl gets sleepy
I love the way she baby talks

My [Incomprehensible] scarce, honey
And wait it now got hard
I spend my whole day stealin' chicken
Mama from the rich folks yard

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 cake walk into town

I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama
And stay all day
I don't care but 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 cake walk into town
