Goree Blues blues lyrics

Lay down last night with nothing on my mind.
Lay down last night with nothing on my mind.

Woke up this morning, blues all 'round my bed.
I woke up this morning, blues all 'round my bed.

???

When a woman take the blues, hangs her head and cry.
When a woman take the blues, hangs her head and cry.

When a man take the blues, he catch some train and ride.
When a man take the blues, he catch some train and ride.

Oh, the blues ain't nothing but a woman wanna see her man.
Oh, the blues ain't nothing but a woman wanna see her man.

Good morning, blues; blues how do you do?
Good morning, blues; blues how do you do?

I'm gonna sing this time and ain't gonna sing no more.
I'm gonna sing this time and ain't gonna sing no more.

I'm gonna leave this old, lonesome town.
I'm gonna leave, oh, this old, lonesome town.

I won't be dead, ain't coming back here no more.
I won't be dead, and I ain't coming back here no more.
I won't be dead, I ain't coming back here no more.

I'm gonna buy me a special, long as I am tall.
I'm gonna buy me a special, long as I am tall.

Gonna kill everybody look like that mistreater of mine.
Gonna kill everybody look like that mistreater of mine.
