Lovesick Blues (78rpm Version)

Sam, you sure do look like you've got the misseries

Man, I ain't got no misery

I've got the blues, that, that's what's the matter with me

The bird singin' in the trees and the sun is shinin'

You shouldn't have no blues

I know I should have 'em

But, but, but I got it

Every known indication of bein' in that condition

What, what's the matter then, lock up your bootlegger?

No, it wasn't that

I went home this mornin' and peeped through the window

That sweet thing of mine I done called out

So now I've got them lovesick blues

I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal

That's what's the matter with me

I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal

But she don't care for me

To make her love me, I tried

Lord, how I sighed and I cried

But she just refused

And ever since my momma's gone away

I've got them lovesick blues

I've got a feelin' called the blues

Since my mama said goodbye

It seems I don't know what to do, do, do, do

All I do is sit and cry, oh, Lord

The last long day we spent alone

I'm yearnin' for it yet

She thrilled me, filled me with a kind of lovin'

I never will forget

The way she called me daddy

'Twas just a beautiful dream

I hate to think it's all over

I lost my heart it seems, oh, Lord

I got used to her somehow

But I'm nobody's baby

Papa, now it's awful when you're lonesome

You got them lovesick blue, oh, Lord
