I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind

Hate to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind

I'm going down to the station, catch that fast [Incomprehensible] train I see

Got the blues 'bout miss so and so, and her son's got the blues about me
I am saddened by the absence of someone referred to as "miss so and so," and her son is also feeling the blues about me.
I'm leaving this morning, my arm fold up and cried
