I get the blues at bedtime
Them things don't leave until day
Hey-hey-hey, mama
I get the blues at bedtime
And them things don't leave until day
An if i just had you in my arms
Them blues would blow away

Now, if you love me baby
Try to keep me satisfied
Hey-hey, mama
If you love me, baby
Try to keep me satisfied
And will you low down your chariot
And let yo' po' daddy, ride?

'let's ride some, boy'

Now, if i could go back to china
And start my life brand new
Hey-hey-hey, mama
If i could go back to china
And start my life brand new
I would tell the whole world
Jes' what i would do

I wouldn't-a started drinkin', gamblin'
I wouldn't run around
Hey-hey-hey, mama
I wouldn't-a started drinkin', gamblin'
Lord, i wouldn't run around
I think i would get married
Baby, and i would settle down.
