Wake up mama, don't you sleep so hard
Wake up mama, honey don't you sleep so hard
It's the same old blues walkin' all over your yard
I've got these blues, I'm not satisfied
I've got these blues, I'm just not satisfied
And that's the reason why I stroll away and cry
Grabbed me in midnight, they didn't turn me loose till day
Grabbed me in midnight, didn't turn me loose till day
I didn't have no woman to help me drive these blues away
Big star's fallin' mama, 't ain't long fo' day
Big star's fallin' mama, 't ain't long fo' day
Oh come on sunshine and drive these blues away
