ain't got nothin' but the blues

ain't got the change of a nickel

ain't got no bounce in my shoes

ain't go no fancy to tickle

i ain't got nothing but the blues

ain't got no coffee that's perking

ain't got no winnings to lose

ain't got a dream that is working

i ain't got nothing but the blues

when trumpets flare up

i keep my hair up

i just can't make it come down

believe me pappy

i can't get happy

since my ever loving baby left town

ain't got no rest in my slumbers

ain't got no feelings to bruise

ain't got no telephone numbers

i ain't got nothing but the blues

ain't got the change of a nickel

ain't got no bounce in my shoes

ain't go no fancy to tickle

i ain't got nothing but the blues

ain't got no coffee that's perking

ain't got no winnings to lose

ain't got a dream that is working

i ain't got nothing but the blues

i ain't got nothing but the blues

when trumpets flare up

i keep my hair up

i just can't make it come down

believe me pappy

i can't get happy

since my ever loving baby left town

ain't got no rest in my slumbers

ain't got no feelings to bruise

ain't got no telephone numbers

i ain't got nothing

nothing

nothing but the blues

ain't got no east

no west

no good

no best

ain't got no man to choose

i ain't got nothing

ain't got nothing but the blues
