Crazy Blues

By Leon Redbone (1977)
On album Lazybones (2020), Double Time (1977)

Double Time
I can't sleep at night, I can't eat a bite
'Cause the gal I love, she don't treat me right
Oh, baby, you make me feel so blue
I don't know what to do
Sometimes I sit and sigh and then begin to cry
'Cause the gal that I love has said her last good-bye

There's a change in the ocean, change in the deep blue sea
I'll tell you now, there ain't no change in me
'Cause I'm in love with that gal -- will always be

I can read her letters, but I sure can't read her mind
Yes, she said she was in love with me, but she was lyin' all the time
Well, now I know my poor love was blind

[Chorus]
Now I got the crazy blues
Since my baby went away
I ain't got time to lose
I must find her today
I'm gonna do like a madman, get some horse
Get myself a gun and shoot myself a couple
My love has been refused
Now I got the crazy blues

Went down to the railroad, put my head on the track
Yeah, I thought about my gal, and I snatched it quickly back
Well, she's gone, she's gone, she give me the sack

[Chorus]
Well, the doctor's gonna do all he can
That's what he's gonna need for the undertaker man
'Cause my love has been refused
Now I got the crazy blues
