Now, when I leave this town mama
may not be back no more
When I leave this town, mama
I Won't be back no more
Got the blues so bad
like a riot standin' out my door
I've got the blues so bad
Now i know the score
Got the blues so bad honey
Why won't then let me be
Got the blues so bad, baby
Honey they hit me,hit me,hit me
Now, I'll go to Chicago
When a man can be free,so much
I'm asking mama, mama
Please don't cry no tears
Hear baby
Please don't cry no tears
And I'll always love you
Through my days and through the years
But you gotta help me out
