Trixie Blues (c. 7-23) - Fats Waller

Woke up this morning, blues all around my bed

Woke up this morning, blues all around my bed

I didn’t have my daddy to hold my achin' head

Now the blues ain’t nothing, but a woman wants to see her man

I know the blues ain’t nothing, but a woman wants to see her man

'Cause every time my man leaves me, Lord knows I feel so bad

You can never tell what’s on a brown-skinned man’s mind

You can never tell what’s on a brown-skinned man’s mind

He’d be huggin' and kissin' you, and quittin' you all the time
