Ethel Waters — Georgia Blue

I feel bad I feel sad But it won't be very long Before I'll be feeling glad I just sigh I could die I have got Georgia blues And I'm just too mean to cry; I don't live in Boston I wasn't born in Maine If I don't go to Georgia I will surely go insane I've got the Georgia blues 'Cause I've got bad news I'm gonna catch a train And I ain't gonna stop until I'm home Home again I'm not satisfied Just must take a ride Gee, but I'll be happy With my baby by my side Hear that whistle blow Now it's time to go 'Cause the train is waiting Got no time to lose A certain party that I know Offered me a ticket to Chicago But he can have it, I don't want it 'Cause I got the Georgia blues I've got those Georgia blues 'Cause I got bad news I'm gonna catch a train And I ain't gonna stop until I'm home, home Home again I'm not satisfied Just must take a ride Gee, but I'll be happy With my sweet daddy by my side Hear that whistle blow Now it's time to go My train is waiting Got no time to lose A party wanted to marry me, way last spring Even bought me a brand new diamond ring But he can have it, I don't want it 'Cause I got the Georgia blues
