Leaving Town Blues

Now, when I leave this world
Won't be back no more
Yes, when I leave this world
Won't be back no more

I've had the blues so bad
Standing 'round my door
I've got the blues so bad
Why won't you let me be?

I've got the blues so bad
Why don't you let me be?
Now, when I'm going back to the good spirit
Blues don't you follow me?

I said,"Mama, mama
Please don't cry no tears"
I'm asking,"Mama, mama
Please don't you cry no tears"
