Wake up, Mama, don't you sleep so hard 
Wake up, Mama, don't you sleep so hard 
For it's these old blues walkin' all over your yard 
I've got these blues; I'm not satisfied 
I've got these blues; I'm not satisfied 
That's the reason why I stole away and cry 
Blues grabbed me at midnight, didn't turn me loose til day 
Blues grabbed me at midnight, didn't turn me loose til day 
I didn't have no mama to drive these blues away 
The big star fallin', Mama, t'ain't long fo' day 
The big star fallin', Mama, t'ain't long fo' day 
Maybe that sunshine'll drive these blues away 
Oh come here quick, come on Mama, you know I got you...
Mmm...
