Crazy Blues
Love's Turmoil: Mamie Smith's Soulful Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
I can't sleep at night
I am unable to sleep during the night.
I can't eat a bite
I have no appetite to eat anything.
'Cause the man I love
Because the man I love
He don't treat me right
He doesn't treat me properly.
He makes me feel so blue
He makes me feel sad and depressed.
I don't know what to do
I am uncertain about what actions to take.
Sometime I sit and sigh
Sometimes I sit and express my sorrow.
And then begin to cry
And then I start to cry.
'Cause my best friend
Because my best friend
Said his last goodbye
Said his final farewell.
There's a change in the ocean
There's a change in the ocean.
Change in the deep blue sea, my baby
Change in the deep blue sea, my baby.
I'll tell you folks, there ain't no change in me
I'll tell you folks, there ain't no change in me.
My love for that man will always be
My love for that man will always be.
Now I can read his letters
Now I can read his letters.
I sure can't read his mind
I sure can't read his mind.
I thought he's lovin' me
I thought he's loving me.
He's leavin' all the time
He's leaving all the time.
Now I see my poor love was blind
Now I see my poor love was blind.
Now I got the crazy blues
Now I got the crazy blues.
Since my baby went away
Since my baby went away.
I ain't got no time to lose
I ain't got no time to lose.
I must find him today
I must find him today.
Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can
Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can.
But what you're gonna need is an undertaker man
But what you're gonna need is an undertaker man.
I ain't had nothin' but bad news
I ain't had nothin' but bad news.
Now I got the crazy blues
Now I got the crazy blues.
