Crazy Blues Songtext
von Leon Redbone

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 goodbye

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

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

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
