Well, I got up this mornin',
Jinx all 'round jinx all 'round, 'round my bed
I said, I got up this mornin' with the jinx all around my bed
Know I thought about you and, honey, and it like to kill me dead
Mmmm, look a here now, baby,
What you want me, what you want me, me to do?
Look a here, honey, I say, what do you want poor me to do?
You know I done all I could just tryin' to get along with you
You know the blues ain't nothing but a low
Down shaking, low down shakin', achin' chill
I said the blues is a low down ol' aching chill
Well, if you ain't had 'em, honey, I hope you never will
Well, blues, blues,
Is a worried heart, is a worried heart, heart disease
Oh, the blues is a worried ol' heart disease
Look like the woman you be lovin', man, is so doggone hard to please
Mmm, I rather be outdoors, walkin' up, walkin' up, and down the road
I said, I'd rather be outdoors, I said, walkin' up and down the road
Than to be layin' 'round here workin' just for my boa'd and clothes
Mmm, look a here, little girl,
Don't you cry, don't you cry, cry no more
I said, look a here, darlin', honey, don't you try to cry no more
Well, when I leave this time, I'm gonna hang crepe on your door
