I Ain't Got Nothing but the Blues - Mose Allison

Ain’t got the change of a nickel

Ain’t got no bounce in my shoes

Ain’t got no fancy to tickle

I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

Ain’t got no coffee that’s perking

Ain’t got no feelings to bruise

Don’t have a dream that is working

I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

The band is swingin'

The folks are singin'

I just can’t let my hair down

Believe me, Pruitt

Ain’t nothin' to it

Since my little baby left town

Ain’t got no rest in my slumbers

Don’t have no winnings to lose

Ain’t got no telephone numbers

I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

The band is stompin'

The folks are rompin'

I just can’t let my hair down

Believe me, Bridget

I can’t get with it

Since my little baby left town

Ain’t got no house in Westchester

Don’t have no Chris-Craft to cruise

Ain’t got no Basie with Lester

I ain’t got nothin' but the blues
