Ain't got the change of a nickel Ain't got no bounce in my shoes Ain't got no fancy to tickle I ain't got nothin' but the blues Ain't got no coffee that's perkin' Ain't got no winnings to lose Ain't got a dream that is workin' I ain't got nothin' 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 lovin' 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 nothin' 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 lovin' 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 nothin' but the blues
