Lyrics
I can't sleep at night
I can't eat a bite
'Cause the man I love
He don't treat me right
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 he's left her behind
There's a change in the ocean
A change in the deep blue sea, my baby
I tell you folks there ain't no changing me
My love for that man will always be
Now I've 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 told her she'll walk that he cared
But what she's gonna need is off the table, man
I ain't had nothing but bad news
Now I've got the crazy blues
Now I can read his letters
I sure can read his mind
I thought his love in me, he's leaving all the time
Now it seems I'm caught up on the line
I went to the railroad, banged my head on the track
Told about my daddy, I planned to snatch him back
Now I've been caught and gave me the sack
Now I've got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't had no time to lose
I must find him today
I'm gonna do like a China man, throw his kids some hock
Get myself a gun and shoot myself a cock
I ain't had nothing but bad news
Now I've got the crazy blues
