I can't sleep at night
I can't eat a bite.
'Cause the man I love

He don't treat me right.

He makes me feel so blue

I don't know what to do.
Sometimes I sit and sigh
And then begin to cry

'Cause my best friend
said his last goodbye.


There's a change in the ocean
Change in the deep blue sea . . . but baby
I tell you folks there . . . ain't no change in me

My love for that man
Will always be.


Now I've got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't got no time to lose

I must find him today
Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can,
But what you gonna need is a undertaker man!

I ain't had nothin' but bad news,
Now I've got the crazy blues.


Now I can read his letter
I sure can't read his mind
I thought he's lovin'me,

He's leavin' all the time.
Now I see . . .
My poor love was Iyin'.


I went to the railroad
Hang my head on the track

Thought about my daddy
I gladly snatched it back
Now my babe's gone

And gave me the sack.

Now I've got the crazy blues

Since my baby went away
I ain't had no time to lose
I must find him today

I'm gonna do like a Chinaman, go and get some hop,
Get myself a gun, and shoot myself a cop!
I ain't had nothin' but bad news

Now I've got the crazy blues.

Those blues!
