[Intro]
A A
(Until Vocals Start)
A
I went upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk
A
I ain't see no blues, whiskey made me sloppy drunk
D
I ain't never seen no whiskey,
A
the blues made me sloppy drunk
E
I'm going back to Memphis babe,
D
where I'll have much better luck
A
Look out Mama you know you asked me to be your King
A
She said you kiddin' man, if you want it, keep it hid
D
But please don't let my husband,
A
my main man catch you here
E
Please don't let my main man,
D
my husband catch you here
A
The blues are mushed up into three different ways
A
One said go the other two said stay
D
I woke up this mornin' with the blues three different ways
E
You know one say go Baby,
D
the other two said stay
(Insert Blues Jam In A here)
A
Wake up mama, I got something to tell you
A
You know I'm a man, who love to sing the blues
D
Now you got to wake up baby,
A
A Honey, I got something; I got something to tell you
E
Well you know I'm the man,
D
oh yes and I love to sing the blues

where I'll have much better luck
