leaving trunk

went up stairs to pack my leaving trunk

i ain't seen no blues whiskey made me sloppy drunk

i ain'ts had no whiskey

the blues made me sloppy drunk

goin' back to memphis baby

i had much better luck

look here mama you know you asked me to be your kin

said you can man if you only keep it here

but don't let my husband

my main man catch you here

don't let my main man

my husband catch you here

them blues

woke up three different ways

one says go the other two says stay

i woke up this morning

i had the blues three different ways

one says go man

the other two says stay

went up stairs

packing my leavin' trunk

i seen no blues or whiskey baby sloppy drunk

i ain'ts had no whiskey

you know the blues

blues make me sloppy drunk

one says go man

the other two says stay here

alternate 4th verse: wake up momma

i got something to say to you

i said i'm a man

i'm going to sing the blues

wake up momma

i got

i got

something i want to tell you

said i'm a man

i love to sing the blues
