Well, please, everybody,
won't you please listen to my piece?
Yes, I want you people to
listen to my piece.
But there's no good life in
how it's mistreating me.
Well, you'll understand, listen to my song
Yes, you'll un derstand
if you listen to my
song
Just why it is me and
this life don't get
Now I took a chance,
took a chance with whiskey
Yes, I took a chance,
took a chance with whiskey
But after I got through with the gin I lost
my baby and I had to give in
Yes, it's a doggone shame the way I
have to go through life
Yes, it's a doggone shame the way
I have to go through life
Have to blues every day, yes,
have a damn heavy night
Well, I miss my baby every day,
can't help but miss midnight
Yes, I miss my baby in the day,
can't help but miss midnight
If my big head hadn't been so hard,
I would have had her now
Well, I miss my baby every day
and every night
Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when I had her,
wouldn't treat her right
Yes, and now that she's gone,
I cry each and every night
