Just tell me, baby

Just tell me, baby

What can I do

To change your mind?

Hey, hey

Baby can I change your mind?

I got the freight train blues

The tracks is outta line

You got a man in the east

An a man in the west

Jus' sittin' here worryin'

Who you love the best?

Hey, hey

What can I do to change your mind?

I got the blues for you, baby

You keep me worried all the time

You say you love me

I believe in you

You kind of quit me

What mo' can I do?

Hey, hey

Baby, can I change yo' mind?

I got the blue for you, baby

You keep me worried all the time

'Now boy, you know I’ve got

The blues now'

'Play 'em for me, now'

(piano & guitar)

'Yas, yas, yas, yas'

My mama got 'em

My papa got 'em

My sister told me

That she had them, too

Hey, hey

Mama, what can I do?

Some old day you will want me

An I won’t care a thing about you
