They call it stormy Moday, but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Moday, but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad

Yes the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, my heart's in misery
Crazy about my baby, yes, send her back to me

This is a mean old world,
Baby to live in by yourself.
This is a mean old world,
Baby to live in by yourself.
Can't get the woman you love,
Cause you know she's lovin someone else.

Well I drink to keep from worryin
Baby and I smile to keep from cryin'.
Yes I drink to keep from worryin
And you know I smile to keep from cryin.
That's to keep the public from knowin
Just what I have on my mind.

I love my baby, she's so mean to me
Yes I love my baby, she's so mean to me
I'm gonna change my way of living baby, move across the deep blue sea



You know you didn't want me baby, when you climbed up on my knee
You were drinkin' moonshine whiskey mama, tryin' to jive poor me
Yes I love you, yes I love you, yes I love, and I don't care what you do

Brownskin woman, who might you're good man be
Brownskin woman, who might you're good man be
Say the reason why I ask you baby, you sure look good to me

Let your hair down baby,
Let's have a natural ball.
Let your hair down baby,
Let's have a natural ball.
Cause when you're not happy,
It ain't no fun at all.

You can't take it with you,
That's one thing for sure.
You can't take it with you baby,
That's one thing for sure.
There's nothing wrong with ya baby,
That a good T-Bone shuffle can't cure.

Have fun while ya can,
Fate's an aweful thing.
Have fun while ya can,
Fate's an aweful thing.
You can't tell what might happen,
That's why I love to sing.

Blues is a woman.
That woman I call my own.
Blues is a woman.
That woman I call my own.
I'm happy when she's near me,
Sad when she leaves me all alone

Blues is feelin,
That pains your very heart.
Blues iis a feelin,
That pains your very heart.
Don't feel it when she's with you,
But how it aches when where apart.

Blues is song,
I sing both night and day.
Blues is song,
I sing both night and day.
When you got a woman
It makes you sing the blues that way.

Every time I see my baby passin' by
Everytime I feel just like I wanna cry.
If I said I didn't love her,
I must have told a lie.

Everytime she's walkin' with some other man.
Everytime I see him reach to hold her hand,
I wonder how long will I suffer, I wonder how much can I stand.

Anytime I hear my Baby call my name
Anytime, I make everything the same.
If I don't get you back baby,
I've only myself to blame.

please don't be angry with me cause i've gone away
i've told you about your mistakes
but you didn't hear a word i said
i'm so tired of worrying
i don't know just what to do
i'm sorry baby
i just can't put up with you

i've tried to please you
but you just wasn't satisfied with me
well i tried to please you
you just wasn't satisfied with me
i've had to do it ever since i met you
now you ought to be free

i've got a society woman
she gets the best of everything
yes i got a society woman
she gets the best of everything
she lives in luxury
but she keeps me in the strings
well she want to be a cover girl
and make headlines in the news
she eats steaks and chicken
i eat plain old kidney stew
i love my society woman
but love ain't worth the price i pay
i bought enough love to last me until my dying days

I get so weary in the evenin when the suns goin down.
I get so weary in the evenin when the suns goin down.
I get so lonesome when my baby's not around.

When I go to bed at night,
And the birds begin to call.
When I go to bed at night,
And the birds begin to call.
I feel so sad and lonely,
For my baby that ain't all.

Well I get up in the mornin',
Just before the break of day.
When I get up in the mornin',
Just before the break of day.
Thinking about my baby,
But I know she's going to stay.

sometimes i sang the blues when I know i should be praying
sometimes i sing the blues
when i know i should be praying
for i share the worlds troubles is why i feel this way
i wake up some mornings
feel like I wanna cry
i began to sing the blues
to ease my worried mind
born with emotions
song in my soul
other parts of my story
it may never be told
if i only knew when my trouble would end
if i only knew when my troubles would end
i kiss bad luck goodbye and start all over again

i should be crying over you baby
but you've been so true to me
i shouldn't cry over you baby
but you've been so true to me
when i get to thinking baby
why the blues won't let me be
if the blues would leave me, i think i'd know what to do
i've got the blues again
can't think of anyone but you
you don't love me
and your love ain't fair
i can find me another woman
anyplace, anywhere

my pretty baby don't have eyes for me no more
she done packed all her clothes
and walked right out of my door
oh but life is too short to worry
too short to sit and cry
life is too short to worry
too short to sit and cry
i'm gonna find me another woman
and kiss bygones goodbye

Love is Just a gamble.
Say just what you wanna say.
Love is Just a gamble.
Say just what you wanna say.
Its nice to see if your a winner,
If you lose its debt that's hard to pay.

Can't you see love is a gamble.
It makes headlines in the news.
Can't you see love is a gamble.
It makes headlines in the news.
I've always been unlucky,
All I ever did in life was lose.

Whoa took a gamble on romance.
Just when I thought I had it won.
Took a gamble on romance.
Just when I thought I had it won.
She told me goodbye pretty papa,
I was only havin fun.

Party girl, party girl.
Why don't you stay at home.
Party girl, party girl.
Why don't you stay at home.
You've lost all your glamour,
And your health its almost gone.

Party girl, party girl.
You used to be so fine.
Party girl, party girl,
You used to be so fine.
Bright lights and whiskey has caused you to lose your mind.

You drink straight whiskey,
Til it makes your tonsells sore.
You've got bags under your eyes
Big as a barn yard door.
Wake up Party girl, don't you know the cops around.
Your dead on your feet,
And your on your last go round.

Train rolled into the station,
But my baby couldnt be found.
Train rolled into the station,
But my baby couldnt be found.
Somebody told me she got off,
In another town.

They said she met a fellow,
Bout six foot two.
He wasn't much to look at,
But he sure know just what to do.
Train rolled into the station,
But my baby couldnt be found.
Somebody told me she got off,
In another town.

I sent her all my money,
To come home to me.
Now she's gone and left me.
And I'm as lonesome as I can be.
Train rolled into the station,
But my baby couldnt be found.
Somebody told me she got off,
In another town.

and the only thing you want is another fight

when the sun rose this morning i was standing in the back door cryin
i didn't know where to find my baby
and I almost lost my mind
when the sun set this evening
i was standing in the same old place
i felt so much the better
after seeing my baby's smilin face
wish i had a heaven, a heaven of my own
well i wish i had a heaven
a heaven of my own
I'd give all you girls a real nice happy home

you don't love me, i don't even care

> tried to treat you nice and kind
but you wouldn't pay that no mind

i believe you got another man
wait for you day and night
and try to do the things that right
oh baby

let me hold your hand
to get you to understand
