Sissle & Blake — Crazy Blues

[Verse 1] I can't sleep at night, I can’t eat a bite 'Cause the gal I love, she don't treat a-me right Sweet mama, she makes me feel so blue, I don’t know what to do Sometimes I weep and sigh, and then begin to cry The gal I love has said her last goodbye [Verse 2] There's a change in the ocean Change in the deep blue sea, my baby I'll tell you, folks, there ain't no change in me Somehow my love for that gal will always be [Verse 3] I could read her letters but I sure can't read her mind I thought she's lovin' me, she was leavin' all of the time So now I know my poor love was blind [Chorus] Now I’ve got the crazy blues Since my baby went away I ain’t got no time to lose I must find her today I'm gonna do like a Chinaman, get some hop Take myself a gun and shoot myself a cop ’Cause my love has been refused Now I've got the crazy blues [Verse 4] I went down to the railroad and laid my head on the track (You know I'se crazy, hmm) Thought about my baby, then I snatched it quickly back (Like I had plenty sense, mhm) Oh, my baby's gone and gave me the sack (Cruel, cruel woman) [Chorus] Now I’ve got the crazy blues Since my baby went away I ain't got no time to lose, no sir I must find her today I'm gonna do like the Chinamen, get some hop Take myself a gun and shoot myself a cop 'Cause my love has been refused Now I've got the crazy blues [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Oh, the doctor's gonna do all he can But what he's gonna need is an undertaker man 'Cause my love has been refused Now I've got the crazy blues
