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 Honey, 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, 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 yard I would love to take a picnic in the country Be with you and stay all day Live like you love [Incomprehensible] Time away I had the blues so bad one time It put my face in a permanent frown Now I'm feelin' so much better child I could cakewalk into town
