Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

Came home this morning, found my baby gone. (2x) People, I sat down, I began to wonder, what in the world have I done wrong.
It ain't no ordinary feeling, sleeping by yourself. (2x) when the man that you love is sleeping around with everybody else.
I gave him five little children, you know, not one of those girls looks like me. (2x) I tell you, they all look like their papa, I'm not gonna let him set me free.
Uhuhuhuh uhuhuhuheeh (3x)
Well, you know it's hard, yes it's hard, when the one you love is gone. (2x) Walks out the door, and leaves you and your kids broke and hungry and all alone.
That's why I'm gonna get up early in the morning, and write myself a letter. (2x) And when the mailman delivers on Friday evening, I hope he finds me feeling so much better.
