Ain't Got Nothing But the Blues

Ain't got the change of a nickel
I ain't got no bounce in my shoes
I ain't go no fancy to tickle

I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
I ain't got no winnings to lose

I ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues

When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me peppie
I can't get happy

Since my ever loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
I ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues

When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me peppie
I can't get happy

Since my ever loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
I ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
