Folks, l come up North
Cause they told me de North was fine.
l come up North
Cause they told me de North was fine.
Been up here six months-
I'm about to lose my mind.

This mornin' for breakfast
l chawed de mornin'air.
This mornin' for breakfast
Chawed de mornin'air.
But this evenin' for supper,
l got evenin' air to spare.

Believe I'll do a little dancin'
just to drive my blues away
A little dancin'
To drive my blues away,
Cause when I'm dancin'
De blues forgets to stay.

But if you was to ask me
How de blues they come to be,
Says if you was to ask me
How de blues they come to be
You wouldn't need to ask me:
Just look at me and see!
