Ain't got no change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it my hair come down
Believe me peppie,
I can't get happy
Since my ever loving baby left town
Ain't got no change of a nickel
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
