I get the blues at bedtime Them things don't leave until day Hey-hey-hey, mama I get the blues at bedtime And them things don't leave until day An if I just had you in my arms Them blues would blow away Now, if you love me baby Try to keep me satisfied Hey-hey, mama If you love me, baby Try to keep me satisfied And will you low down your chariot And let yo' po' daddy, ride? 'Let's ride some, boy' (Instrumental & guitar) Now, if I could go back to China And start my life brand new Hey-hey-hey, mama If I could go back to China And start my life brand new I would tell the whole world Jes' what I would do I wouldn't-a started drinkin', gamblin' I wouldn't run around Hey-hey-hey, mama I wouldn't-a started drinkin', gamblin' Lord, I wouldn't run around I think I would get married Baby, and I would settle down. ~
