Crazy Blues Lyrics by Catherine Russell

I can't sleep at night, I can't eat a bite
'Cause the man I love, he don't treat me right
He makes me feel so blue, I don't know what to do
Sometimes I sit and sigh and then begin to cry
He went away, never said goodbye

I can read his letters, but I sure can't read his mind
Thought he was loving with me, he's leaving all the time
So, now I see my poor love was blind

Now I got the crazy blues, since my baby went away
I ain't got no time to lose, I must find him today
Now the doctor's gonna do all that he can
But what he's gonna need is the undertaker man
I ain't got nothing but bad news, now I got the crazy blues

I went down to the railroad, lay my head on the track
Thought about my baby and had to snatched it back
My baby's gone and give me the sack

So, now I got the crazy blues, since my baby went away
I ain't got no time to lose, I must find him today
I'm gonna do like a China-man, go and get some hop
Get myself a gun and shoot myself a cop
I ain't had nothing but bad news, now I got the crazy blues
