Down With The Blues

by Jimmy Dawkins recording of 1994 from Blues And Pain (Wild Dog 9108) I've been all night, people, with the blues, 'cause I've been all day thinking about you I've been all night with the blues, 'cause I've been up all day thinking about you 'Cause I love you, baby but you're no good and you know you can't be true All the time with the blues, all the time I have the blues about you Feeling so down with the blues, have the blues all the time about you You know I love you baby, people know have never seen me so blue Feeling down, baby, feeling down the way about you Feeling down, baby, feeling down always about you And every time I think about you woman, that's the time I have the blues That's the time I have the blues I'm gonna leave here, baby, can't stand your lowdown dirty way I'm gonna leave here, woman, can't stand no more your dirty way The way you treat me, baby, I got to make my thanks-giveaway Bye, bye, baby, well, it don't mean that I'm gone Bye, bye, baby, oh, it don't mean that I'm gone It just means that I'm missing you, mama, oh, you've been away all too long
