I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues
Ain′t got a change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain′t got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that′s perking
Ain′t got no pennies to lose
I ain't got no dream that is working
I ain′t got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me pappy, I can′t get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain′t got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain′t got no rest in my slumbers
Ain′t got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain′t got nothing but the blues
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I ain′t got nothing but the blues
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I ain′t got nothing but the blues
