Mamie Smith - Crazy blues

I can't sleep at night

I can't eat a bite

'Cause the man I love

He don't treat me right

He makes me feel so blue

I don't know what to do

Sometime I sit and sigh

And then begin to cry

'Cause my best friend

Said his last goodbye

There's a change in the ocean

Change in the deep blue sea, my baby

I'll tell you folks, there ain't no change in me

My love for that man will always be

Now I can read his letters

I sure can't read his mind

I thought he's lovin' me

He's leavin' all the time

Now I see my poor love was blind

Now I got the crazy blues

Since my baby went away

I ain't got no time to lose

I must find him today

Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can

But what you're gonna need is an undertaker man

I ain't had nothin' but bad news

Now I got the crazy blues
