Been in business and I been in love I used to fly high like a turtle dove I had the blues many a time Just a girl on a poor boy's mind I got the mournin' blues Oh so bad Mama come a-kiss me They're the worst I ever had A nickel's worth of grease and a dime's worth of lard I would buy more but the times are too hard There ain't no use for me to work so hard 'Cause I can live off the chickens in my neighbor's yard I got the mournin' blues Oh so bad Mama come a-kiss me They're the worst I ever had I woke up this mornin' with a pain in my head So I crawled right back in bed Alone in the mornin' makes you feel so sad The lonesome blues make you feel so bad I got the mournin' blues Oh so bad Mama come a-kiss me They're the worst I ever had
