I can't sleep at night I can't eat a bite 'Cause the man I love He don't treat me right ♪ He makes me feel so blue I don't know what to do Sometimes I sit and sigh And then begin to cry 'Cause my best friend Said his 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 man will always be ♪ Now I got the crazy blues Since my baby went away I ain't got no time to lose I must find him 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 his letters I sure can't read his mind ♪ I thought he's lovin' me He's leavin' all the time ♪ Now I see my poor love was blind ♪ I went to the railroad (to) Hang my head on the track.
Thought about my daddy-- I gladly snatched it back!
Now my babe's gone And gave me the sack. Now I got the crazy blues Since my baby went away I ain't got no time to lose I must find him today I'm gonna do like a Chinaman, Go and get some hop-- Get myself a gun, and shoot myself a cop. I ain't had nothin' but bad news Now I've got the crazy blues.
