I got up this mornin', feelin' sad and blue   I lost my baby now tell me, what I'm goin' to do   You know I'm so lonesome   Way these blues keep doggin' me   Yeah baby but that's all right   I will be up someday      When my baby left me, she left me broken down   She said Goodbye Big Bill, I will see you in another town   Now you know I'm lonesome   Way these blues keep doggin' me   I says that's all right   Big Bill will be up someday      Now I've got to walk by myself, and sleep by myself   On account the one I'm lovin', she keep on lovin' someone else   You know I'm lonesome   Way these blues keep doggin' me   Yeah but that's all right   Baby I will be up someday      If I'd had listened at what my mother said, and did what she said   I'd been home now, sleepin' in a great big bed   Cause I'm lonesome   Way these blues keep doggin' me   Yeah but that's all right   Baby I will be up someday      The men was put on earth to rule, but women are ruling too   Sometimes I wonder what a poor man gonna do   Cause I'm lonesome   Way these blues keep doggin' me   Yeah but that's all right   Way these blues is doggin' me
