Got the Blues so Bad

Every minute in the hour

Hour in the day

Day in the week

Every week in the month

I got the blues so bad

Hardly know my name

Since my baby went away

Lawd I don’t feel the same

Just like a ship without a sail

A cow without a tail

Fish on dry land

Lawd I'm a downhearted man

Got the blues so bad

Hardly know my name

Since my baby went away

Lawd I don’t feel the same

Well I'm down on my knees

Try my best to please

Kind as can be but she walked out on me

I got the blues so bad

Hardly know my name

Since my baby went away

Lawd I don’t feel the same

I tried to play love square

She was treated everywhere

I got a new plan

I'm going to be a low-down dirt man

Got the blues so bad

Hardly know my name

Since my baby went away

Lawd I don’t feel the same
