Crazy Blues - Barbara Dane, Original Mix

I can’t sleep at night, I can’t eat a bite

'Cause the one I love just won’t treat me right

It makes me feel so blue

I don’t know what to do

Sometimes I sit inside

Then I begin to cry

'Cause my daddy said his last goodbyes

Oh I can read his letters, but I sure can’t read his mind

I thought he was lovin' me, but he was leavin' all the time

And now I see that my poor love was blind

Now I got the crazy blues

Since my daddy went away

Ain’t got no time to lose

'Cause I must find him today

Well the doctor’s gonna do

All that he can

But what he’s gonna need is a undertaker man

It had nothin' but bad news

Mama’s got the crazy blues

Now I got the crazy blues

Since my daddy went away

Ain’t got no time to lose

'Cause I must find him today

Well the doctor’s gonna do

All that he can

But what he’s gonna need is a undertaker man

It had nothin' but bad news

Mama’s got the crazy blues

Oh, yes, mama’s got the crazy blues
