I can't sleep at night
I can't eat a bite
'Cause the man I love
He don't treat me right
ย
He makes me feel so blue
I don't know what to do
Sometimes I sit and sigh
And then begin to cry
'Cause my best friend
Said his last goodbye
There's a change in the ocean
Change in the deep blue sea, my baby
I'll tell you folks, there ain't no change in me
My love for that man will always be
ย
Now I got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't got no time to lose
I must find him today
Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can
But what you're gonna need is an undertaker man
I ain't had nothin' but bad news
Now I got the crazy blues
Now I can read his letters
I sure can't read his mind
ย
I thought he's lovin' me
He's leavin' all the time
ย
Now I see my poor love was blind
ย
I went to the railroad (to)
Hang my head on the track.
ย
Thought about my daddy--
I gladly snatched it back!
ย
Now my babe's gone
And gave me the sack.
Now I got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't got no time to lose
I must find him today
I'm gonna do like a Chinaman,
Go and get some hop--
Get myself a gun, and shoot myself a cop.
I ain't had nothin' but bad news
Now I've got the crazy blues.
