Ain’t got the change of a nickel Ain’t got no bounce in my shoes Ain’t go no fancy to tickle I ain’t got nothing but the blues Ain’t got no coffee that’s perking Ain’t got no winnings to lose Ain’t got a dream that is working I ain’t got nothing but the blues When trumpets flare up I keep my hair up I just can’t make it come down Believe me peppie I can’t get happy Since my ever loving baby left town Ain’t got no rest in my slumbers Ain’t got no feelings to bruise Ain’t got no telephone numbers I ain’t got nothing but the blues
