LYRICS:

Booked me out, baby

You know I'm bound a-go

Booked me out, babe

You know I'm bound to go

And I hope to meet you

On that other life time shore

Umm-mmm!

I'm blue as I can be

Umm-mm!

Blue as I can be

An I hope someday, baby

You will come to have the blues 'bout me

Ev'ry night I lay down

I can't sleep for cryin'

Ev'ry night I lay down

I can't sleep for cryin'

Thinkin' about my baby

She must gonna put me down

Umm-mmm!

What can I do to change yo' mind?

Umm-mmm!

Babe, what can I do to change yo' mind?

She said, 'I could learn to love you, Tommy

If you would treat me nice an kind'

Bye-bye, babe

See ya some ol' rainy day

Bye-bye, babe

See ya some ol' rainy day

I'm gonna see ya 'bout the time

Yo' best man is gone away
