I Ain't Got Nothin’ But The Blues

(Duke Ellington) – Robben Ford Version

Ain't got the change of a nickel

Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't go no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues

Ain't got no coffee that's cooking

Ain't got no feelings to groove
Ain't got a dream that's working
I ain't got nothing but the blues.

The band is swingin'

The folks are singin'
And I just can't seem to get off the ground

Believe me, Bridget

I can't get with it
Since my little baby left town

Ain't got no rest in my slumber

Ain't got no winners to loose
Lost all my telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues.

(guitar solo)
The band is rockin'
The folks are stompin'
And I just can't seem to get with it

Ain't nothing to it
I just can't do it
Since my little baby left town

Ain't got no house in West-Chester

Ain't got no Chris-Craft to cruise
So long my muddy in Chester
I ain't got nothing … but the blues
