Leaving Town Blues

Now, when I leave this world

Won't be back no more

Yes, when I leave this world

Won't be back no more



I've had the blues so bad

Standing 'round my door

I've got the blues so bad

Why won't you let me be?



I've got the blues so bad

Why don't you let me be?

Now, when I'm going back to the good spirit

Blues don't you follow me?



I said,"Mama, mama

Please don't cry no tears"

I'm asking,"Mama, mama

Please don't you cry no tears"



Because I'll always love you

Through all my days and years

Because I'll always love you

Through all my days and years
