Lyrics:
I went upstairs to pack my leaving trunk
I ain't seen no blues, whiskey made me slightly drunk
I ain't never seen no whiskey, the blues make me slightly drunk
I'm going back to Memphis babe, where I have much better luck.

Look out mama you know you asked me to be your kid
She said "You can, man, if you only keep it hid"
But please don't let my lover, my main man, catch you here
Please don't let my main man, my husband, catch you here

The blues, I woke up with them three different ways,
One said go, baby, and the other two said stay
I woke up this morning with the blues three different ways
You know one said go baby, and the other two said stay

Wake up mama, I got something to tell you
You know I'm a man who loves to sing the blues
Now you gotta wake up baby, honey I got something, I got something to tell you
Well you know I'm the, I'm the man, oh yes, and I love to sing the blues

C'mon baby, c'mon, c'mon!

I went upstairs to pack my leaving trunk, you know
I ain't seen no blues, the whiskey made me slightly drunk
I ain't never seen no whiskey, the blues made me slightly drunk
I go home evening I lay down on the bunk
