Listen to the recording to learn the syncopation of the lyrics

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

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

Whistling - C, F, C, G

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

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

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