I Feel So Good
by 
Big Bill Broonzy 
recording of 19 
from various albums listed 
here 
I got a letter, it come to me by mail 
My baby says she’s comin' home 
And I hope that she don’t fail 
You know I feel so good 
Yes I feel so good 
Now I feel so good 
I feel like 
ballin' the jack 
I feel so good, I hope I always will 
I feel just like a jack out with a jenny 
Well behind the hill 
I feel so good 
Yes I feel so good 
I feel so good 
I feel like ballin’ the jack 
I’m goin' down to the station, just to meet a train 
I'd like to see my baby 
Know I’ve got dead aim 
Because I feel so good 
Yes I feel so good 
I feel so good 
I feel like ballin' the jack 
I love my tea, crazy 'bout my Gordon gin 
When I get high now baby 
Feel like floatin’ ‘round in the wind 
'Cause I feel so good 
Yes I feel so good 
I feel so good baby 
I feel like ballin’ the jack

Note: Muddy Waters did a studio recording of the song with similar lyrics in June/July 1959 as part of a tribute to Big Bill. It was recorded again live at Newport with Muddy singing the verses in a different order. 
Memphis Slim recorded the song in January 1961 in NYC, adding a verse between Big Bill’s 2nd and 3rd: 
When I’m with my baby, I mean all alone 
I don’t even have to worry 
'Cause notice what is goin' on 
A few years later he recorded a shorter version titled "Ballin' The Jack".
