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
