Blues ain't nothin'
but the easy goin' heart disease,
Brother stop your moanin'
blues can't make you warmer
if you're bound to freeze.
Sister stop your groanin'
why don't you rise and shine
Take dem blues
right off your mind
'cause the blues ain't nothin'
but the easy goin' heart disease,
That's all! Lawd!

Ev'rybody's crazy
'bout the doggone blues,
but I'm happy
yes happy
ev'rybody's crazy,
but if I must choose,
no doggone blues for mine,
I gets a plenty to eat,
I never worry,
shoes on my feet,
don't have to hurry,
I'm not afraid,
my rent is paid,
and I can sleep
at ninety four in the shade.
Ev'rybody's singing lotta
bad old news
but I'm happy,
yes happy,
Life's too doggone short
to weep and whine,
dem home sickness blues
Lawd! take 'em away.
Ev'rybody's crazy
'bout the doggone blues,
but I'm happy
all of the time.

Ev'rybody's crazy
'bout the doggone blues,

You all know how Mister Jonah
got into that whale,
fell into the ocean
there's one man
that should have sung the blues
but failed,
Never had the notion
Old Jonah knew dem whales.
'Stead of blues he ragged the scales,
then the whale got gay
and let old Jonah
slip right out of jail,
No lie! Lawd!

Ev'rybody's crazy
'bout the doggone blues,

and I can sleep
at ninety four in the shade.
Ev'rybody's singing lotta

but I'm happy,

Life's too doggone short
to weep and whine,
