Lyrics
- I got the blues, can’t be satisfied today
I got them bad, want to lay down and die
I woke up this morning bout half past four
Somebody knocking at my door
I went out to see what it was about
They told me that my honey gal was gone
I said bub that’s bad news
So sing for me them blues
Chorus
Honey baby mamma, do she do
She double do love you
I love you babe, don’t care what you do
Oh sing-em, sing them blues
Cause they cert’ly sound good to me
I’ve been in love these last three weeks
And it cert’ly is a misery
There ain’t but one thing I wish was right
I wish my honey babe was here tonight
Honey babe, mamma’s coming back to you
Come on babe, Oh sing ’em
Sing ’em, sing them blues
Cause they cert’ly sound good to me
- Honey babe, pops ain’t mad with you today
I love you brown skin, don’t care what you do
Oh my baby told me just yesterday
She’d take her trunk and move away
I said hon I know what it is about
I know babe you just want to put me out
Now babe I’ go insane
Oh, listen while I sing
