Cakewalk Into Town Lyrics

Listen to the recording to learn the syncopation of the lyrics
I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
Now I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town
I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I laid back down again
Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
My baby, oh my baby, I love the way she walks
And when my girl gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
My work done got scarce, honey, my work it done got hard,
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, from the rich folks yard
Whistling - C, F, C, G
I got the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town
I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama, and stay all day
I don't care if I don't do nothing, just while my time away
I got the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town
