Wake up mama, don't you sleep so hard Wake up mama, don't you sleep so hard For it's these old blues walkin' all over your yard I've got these blues incomprehensible I'm not satisfied I've got these blues, I'm not satisfied
That's the reason why I stroll away and cry Blues grabbed me in midnight, they didn't turn me loose till day Blues grabbed me in midnight, didn't turn me loose till day I didn't have no mama to drive these blues away
The big star fallin', mama 't ain't long fo' day The big star fallin', mama 't ain't long fo' day Incomprehensible sunshine I drive these blues away
Oh, come here quick, come on mama, now I've got you
