Oh the blues ain't nothin' but your lover on your mind
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but your lover on your mind
The man that keeps you worried, and always cryin'
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a good woman wanting to see her man
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a good woman wanting to see her man
She can't get when she want him, gotta catch him when she can
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a slow achin' heart disease
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a slow achin' heart disease
Just like consumption, it kills you by degrees
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a woman that cries night and day
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a woman that cries night and day
Cryin' about her lover, another woman took him away
Oh papa papa papa, mama done gone mad
Oh papa papa papa, mama done gone mad
Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a good woman feelin' bad
