Well, my woman left me and I'm so glad she did You know, my old gal left me and I'm glad she took the kids Now I've got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in my bed I got the good news blues, I'm smiling on a rainy day I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away Ain't got no achin' bones, Ain't got no bills to pay You see these politicians just tell you what they think we want to hear You know it's here one day and then it's right out that other ear You know they promise us whiskey and won't even give us a beer I got the good news blues, I'm smiling on a rainy day I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away Ain't got no achin' bones, Ain't got no bills to pay
