I've been blue all day,
My man has gone away,
He has left his mama cold,
For another gal, I'm told!


I tried to treat him kind,
I thought he would be mine!
That man I hate to lose,
That's why mama's got the blues.


The man I love, he has done left this town,
The man I love, he has done left this town,
And if it keeps on snowing, I will be Gulf Coast bound.


The mail man passed but he didn't leave no news,
The mail man passed but he didn't leave no news,
I'll tell the world he left me with those Gulf Coast blues.


Some of you men sure do make me tired,
Some of you men sure do make me tired,
You've got a mouthful o' "Gimme", a handful o' "Much oblige".
