GT: Now you don't have to hurry don't have to speak Got everything that a good gal need Your man slips in when I go out You ain't got a darn thing to worry about Your songs all sung and your prayers are all prayed Groceries in your kitchen and your rents all paid Five dollar stockings ten dollar shoes Everything to gain and not a darn thing to lose It's a mystery to me, I can not see Mama how you can have the blues this evening Mama how you can have the blues KCK: I'm living easy that's all true I got all respect that's due to you I got a little money you don't forget But there is something that is lacking yet Now there's still something I'm raving about Can't get in touch with it until I go out Here's your stockings and here's your shoes Just got to have you near by when I lose I'll tell you again try to reexplain That is why I have the blues, hear me screaming That is why I have the blues GT: Now listen Mama You don't have to hurry you don't have to speak Got everything that a good gal need You got a good break believe it or not Most any gal appreciate stuff that you got Your songs all sung and your prayers are all prayed Groceries in your kitchen and your rents all paid Got plenty of liquor got plenty of gin Coupla witty women and a raving about the men It's a mystery to me your papa can't see Mama how you can have the blues all this times How you can have the blues
