Written by peter green.         Now, when I leave this town   Won't be - back no more   Yes, when I leave this town, mama   Won't be back no more   I've got the blues so bad   Standing 'round my door      Yes, I got the blues so bad   Why won't you let me be   I have the blues so bad, mama   Why won't you let me be   Now, when I go to chicago   Blues don't you follow me      Break:      I'm asking mama, mama   Please don't cry no tears   Yes, I say mama, mama   Please don't cry no tears   Because I'll always love you   Through all my days and years
