I've Got Those Bonus Blues 1922

You've heard of all kinds of blues,
You've heard of blues you can't lose,
You've heard of blues
that would make you want to roam,
I'm not denyin'
I'm even cryin'
The blues have got me so bad
I'm nearly dyin'
I'm grievin' and heavin' sighs
and prayin' ev'ry day.
For here's a new kind of blues,
The kind that I can't excuse,
They're all about the big pay
I'll get some day.
I've borrowed from my Dad
and all my sweetie had,
It's dough I'm needin'
and I am needin' bad.

Yes I've got those Bonus Blues,
Most all the time
Bluest blues I've ever had,
And they're all mine
when I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord
to keep that pay
comein' on its way to me.
When I start to sing or hum
Those blues get me
Better days are sure to come,
That's plain to see
Uncle Sam will surely send it
and I know just how I will spend it,
that will cure those Bonus Blues.

Yes I've got those Bonus Blues,
Most all the time
Bluest blues I've ever had,
And they're all mine
when I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord
to keep that pay
comein' on its way to me.
When I start to sing or hum
Those blues get me
Better days are sure to come,
That's plain to see
Uncle Sam will surely send it
and I know just how I will spend it,
that will cure those Bonus Blues.
