I went upstairs to pack my leaving trunk

I ain't seen no blues, whiskey made me sloppy drunk

I ain't never seen no whiskey, the blues made me sloppy drunk

I'm goin' back to Memphis, baby, where I'll have much better luck

Look here, mama, you know you asked me to be your kid

She said, "You can, man, if you only keep it hid

But please don't let my husband, my main man catch you here

Please don't let my main man, my husband catch you here"

The blues, I woke up with 'em three different ways

One said "Go, baby" and the other two said "Stay"

I woke up this mornin' with the blues three different ways

You know one said "Go, baby" and the other two said "Stay"

Wake up, mama! I got somethin' to tell you

You know I'm the man who loves to sing the blues

Now you got to wake up, baby! Ah honey, I got somethin', I got somethin' to tell you

Well, you know I'm the, I'm the man, oh yes, and I love to sing the blues

Come on, Davis, come on! Come on!

I went upstairs to pack my leaving trunk, you know

I ain't seen no blues, the whiskey made me sloppy drunk

I ain't never seen no whiskey, the blues made me sloppy drunk

I go home, baby, and I lay down on the floor
