If you ever had the blues you know just how I feel

If you ever had the blues you know just how I feel

I'm about to lose my lovin' gal Lucille

I love you mama but I don't like your lowdown ways

I love you mama but I don't like your lowdown ways

You got me in trouble and now I'm served in days

[ fiddle ]

Well I ain't gonna marry I ain't gonna settle down

Lord I ain't gonna marry I ain't gonna settle down

I'm gonna be a rounder till the police shoots me down

[ piano ]

You can blow your whistle mama you can toot your horn

You can blow your whistle mama you can toot your horn

You're gonna wake up some morning and find your daddy gone
