Listen to the recording to learn the syncopation of the lyrics

           C                                F
I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
         C                               G
Now I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

  C                                                 F
I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I laid back down again
                C                   G
Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
    C                   F
My baby, oh my baby, I love the way she walks
             C                   G
And when my girl gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
    C                              F
My work done got scarce, honey, my work it done got hard,
   C                                           G
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, from the rich folks yard

Whistling - C, F, C, G

           C                                F
I got the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
              C                               G
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

          C                                         F
I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama, and stay all day
         C                                G
I don't care if I don't do nothing, just while my time away

           C                               F
I got the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
              C                              G
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town
