Lyrics
"Crazy Blues" (1920) by Perry Bradford
with revised lyrics
I can't sleep at night...I can't eat a bite
'cause the girl I love... don't treat me right.
makes me feel so blue... don't know what to do.
Sometime I sit and sigh and begin to cry
'cause my best friend...just said goodbye.
It's a changin' ocean and a changin' sea
but you know my you for you will always be
I can read your letters but I can't read your mind.
I thought you were lovin' me but I guess it's leavin' time
I was blind...love is blind
Now I got the crazy blues since she went away.
got no time to lose...I got to find her today.
Now the doctor's doin' all he can.
But what I'm gonna need is an undertaker man.
I ain't had nothin' but bad news.
Now I got the crazy blues.
