Crazy Blues [A Cappella]
I can't sleep at night
I can't eat a bite
'Cause the gal I love
She don't treat me right
She makes me feel so blue
I don't know what to do
Sometime I sit and sigh
And then begin to cry
'Cause my best friend
Said her last goodbye
There's a change in the ocean
Change in the deep blue sea, my baby
I'll tell you folks, there ain't no change in me
My love for that gal will always be
Now I can read her letters
I sure can't read her mind
I thought she's lovin' me
She's leavin' all the time
Now I see my poor love was blind
Now I got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't got no time to lose
I must find her today
Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can
But what you're gonna need is an undertaker man
I ain't had nothin' but bad news
Now I got the crazy blues
Now I can read her letters
I sure can't read her mind
I thought she's lovin' me
She's leavin' all the time
Now I see my poor love was blind
I went to the railroad
Hang my head on the track
Thought about my mommy
I gladly snatched it back
Now my babe's gone
And gave me the sack
Now I've got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't had no time to lose
I must find her today
I'm gonna do like a Chinaman
Go and get some hop
Get myself a gun, and shoot myself a block
I ain't had nothin' but bad news
Now I've got the crazy blues
The blues!
