I sing these blues
In a minor key
Everybody in town's trying to backbite me
I love my man
Better than I do myself
Now he's lovin' somebody else
That's why I'm singing these minor blues
Early this mornin'
On the break of day
I felt the pillow where my daddy used to lay
He left last night
Didn't say why
Didn't even kiss his mama goodbye
That's why I've got these minor blues
I combed his hair
Manicured his nails
Took my money and got him out of jail
I brought him coffee
I brought him tea
Brought him everything but the jailhouse key
That's why I'm singing these minor blues
I sing these blues
In a lowdown key
To let you know how he mistreated me
Get up in the morning
Work hard all day
Come home at night and give him all my pay
That's why I'm singing these minor blues
Nobody knows
The trouble I seen
Nobody knows my misery
Keep on singing to me
This minor key
Maybe someday he'll come back to me
That's why I'm singing these minor blues
