Lyrics
(Folk song)
I’m gonna build myself a raft,
And float that river down.
I’ll build myself a shack
In some old Texas town,
Refrain
Mhm, mhm,
‘Cause de blues ain’t nothin’,
No, de blues ain’t nothin’
But a good man feelin’ blue.
Why did you leave me blue?
Why did you leave me blue?
All I do is sit
And cry for you. Refrain
