| I can’t sleep at night, I can’t eat a bite, |
| 'Cause the gal I love, she don’t treat me right. |
| Oh, baby, you make me feel so blue, |
| I don’t know what to do. |
| Sometimes I sit and sigh and then begin to cry, |
| 'Cause the gal that I love has said her last good-bye. |
| There’s a change in the ocean, change in the deep blue sea. |
| I’ll tell you now, there ain’t no change in me, |
| 'Cause I’m in love with that gal -- will always be. |
| I can read her letters, but I sure can’t read her mind. |
| Yes, she said she was in love with me, but she was lyin' all the time |
| Well, now I know my poor love was blind. |
| Now I got the crazy blues, |
| Since my baby went away. |
| I ain’t got time to lose, |
| I must find her today. |
| I’m gonna do like a madman, get some horse, |
| Get myself a gun and shoot myself a couple. |
| My love has been refused, |
| Now I got the crazy blues. |
| Went down to the railroad, put my head on the track. |
| Yeah, I thought about my gal, and I snatched it quickly back. |
| Well, she’s gone, she’s gone, she give me the sack. |
| Well, the doctor’s gonna do all he can, |
| That’s what he’s gonna need for the undertaker man, |
| 'Cause my love has been refused, |
| Now I got the crazy blues. |
