Lyrics
(Henry Creamer & Turner Layton, 1917)
Everybody’s crazy ’bout the doggone blues
But I’m happy, (whew) yes happy, (whew)
Everybody’s crazy, but if I must choose
No doggone blues for mine
I gets aplenty to eat, I never worry
Shoes on my feet, don’t have to hurry
I’m not afraid, my rent is paid
And I can sleep at ninety-four in the shade
Everybody’s singing lotta bad old news
But I’m happy, (whew) yes happy, (whew)
Life’s too doggone short to weep and whine
Dem home sickness blues, Lawd! Take ’em away,
Everybody’s crazy ’bout the doggone blues
But I’m happy all of the time! (whew)
