[Verse 1]
[A]I went upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk
I ain't seen no blues,
whiskey made me sloppy drunk
I ain't never [D]seen no whiskey,
the blues made me sloppy [A]drunk
[E]I'm going back to Memphis babe,
[D]where I'll have much better luc[A]k

[Verse 2]
[A]Look here Mama
you know you asked me to be your kid
She said you can man,
if you only keep it hid
But please [D]don't let my husband,
my main man catch you [A]here
Please don't [E]let my main man,
[D]my husband catch you here
[A]

[Verse 3]
[A]The blues are mushed up
in a three different ways
One said "Go baby" the other two said "Stay"
I woke [D]up this mornin'
with the blues of [A]three different ways
[E]You know one say "Go baby"
[D]and the other two say "St[A]ay"

[A]Wake up mama
I got something to tell you
You know I'm a man
who love to sing the blues
Now you got to [D]wake up baby,
Oh honey, I got something,
I got something to tell [A]you
Well you know I'm [E]the, I'm the man,
