| I got a feeling which I never had before
|
| Trouble and sorrow keep knocking at my door
|
| But I have all to gain and nothing to lose
|
| I must have got me passion of joy
|
| What I go through with nobody knows
|
| And yet I go singing and crying the blues
|
| I’m just a lonely motherless child
|
| Trouble and sorrows are driving me wild
|
| But it will all be over after a while
|
| I keep it trying but can’t get nowhere
|
| Aching with trouble and no one to care
|
| And yet I go singing and crying the blues
|
| No decent clothes and I can’t have no shoes
|
| Can’t have no loving but yet I have the blues
|
| So folks you see I ain’t got no time to lose
|
| My girl had quit me and she gone away
|
| But I’m just hoping that she’ll come back someday
|
| And still I go singing and crying the blues
|
| Why do my trouble lasts me so long?
|
| I never bother or done nobody wrong
|
| Ain’t got no loving, ain’t got no place for home
|
| Soon I’ll be lucky and it won’t be long
|
| With plenty of dollar and my gang of diamond stone
|
| And then I’ll be soon singing and crying the blues |
