Leaving Town Blues (Take 5)

(Take five, five)

Now, when I leave this town

Won't be back no more

Yes, when I leave this town, mama

Won't be back no more

I've got the blues so bad

Standin' 'round my door

Yes, I got the blues so bad

Why won't you let me be?

I have the blues so bad, mama

Why won't you let me be?

Now, when I go to Chicago

Blues, don't you follow me

(Right on time)

(Very good)

(Uh-huh)

I'm askin' mama, mama

Please don't cry no tears

Yes, I say mama, mama

Please don't cry no tears

Because I'll always love you

Through all my days and years
