C5                                F5
I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
         C5                               G5
Now I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

  C5                                                 F5
I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I laid back down again
                C5                   G5
Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
    C5                   F5
My baby, oh my baby, I love the way she walks
             C5                   G5
And when my girl gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
    C5                              F5
My work done got scarce, honey, my work it done got hard,
   C5                                           G5
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, from the rich folks yard

I got the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
              C5                               G5
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

          C5                                         F5
I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama, and stay all day
         C5                                G5
I don't care if I don't do nothing, just while my time away

           C5                               F5
I got the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
              C5                              G5
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town
