| Just sitting here, wishing my troubles would all go away
 | 
| Just sitting here, wishing my troubles would just vanish away

 | 
| Ho, sitting here, wish dees bluze will leave me alone

| Wanna tell yer peoples, for me this is a mighty, mighty sad day
 | 
| Hey, I got the blues so bad
 | 
| Tears running down my face I can’t see my way
 |
