Lyrics

I’ve got (G)ram blin’,

I’ve got ram blin’ on my mind.

I’ve got (C)ram blin’,

I’ve got ram blin’ all on my mind.

Hate to (D)leave my ba by,

but you treats me so un kind.

I’ve got mean (G)things,

I’ve got mean things all on my mind.

Lit tle girl, lit tle (C)girl,

I’ve got mean things all on my mind.

Hate to (D)leave you here, babe,

but you treats me so un kind.

Run nin’ down (G)to the sta tion,

catch the first mail train I see.

(B5)Run nin’ down to the sta tion,

catch that old first mail train I see.

I’ve got the blues (D)on Miss So and So, and the (C)child got the blues a bout me.

And I’m leavin’ this (G)morn in’

with my arms fold’ up and cryin’.

And I’m leav in’ (C)this morn in’

with my arms fold’ up and cry in’.

I hate to leave (D)my ba by,

but (C)she treats me so un kind.

I’ve got mean things,

I’ve got mean things on my mind.

I’ve got (C)mean things,

I’ve got mean things all on my mind.

I got to (D)leave my ba by, well, (C)she treats me so un kind.
