Just sitting here, wishing my troubles would all go away 
just sitting here, wishing my troubles would just vanish away 
But I see the years keep on hanging around, trying to get me down 
Just sitting here, wish dees blues would leave me alone 
Oh, sitting here, wish dees blues will leave me alone 
I kant sheck dees feeling, hey the woman I loved is gone 
Tell yer peoples, ah, it's a mighty sad day 
Wanna tell yer peoples, for me this is a mighty, mighty sad day 
Hey, I got the blues so bad, tears running down my face 
I can't see my way (spoken: I go in the corner and cry a little bit) 
Can't stop dees crying 
Hey ho, blues won't leave me alone 
Hey ho, I need dees blues to leave me alone 
It keep on hanging around, trying to get me down 
You listen to my story, oh yeah, tell me what more can I do? 
Hey, somebody listen to my story, what more, what more can I do? 
I did everything I could to treat you good, now I kant sheck dees blues 
I did everything I could, ho, but I kant sheck dees blues 
I've been walking hey 
I've been walking the streets all night long 
I've been walking, I keep walking all night long 
Kant sheck dees blues, I'm so sad being alone 
Mercy, mercy 
Mighty nights for this 
I need to go out in the morning 
I'm just sitting here 
Ha, day by day, wishing dees old troubles 
Bad luck and troubles would just go away 
But I see it keep hanging around 
Oh, they try to get me down 
Let's rock it on home 
Nothing but the blues, oh!
