Frank Stokes — What's The Matter Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Oh now I wonder what’s the matter: I can’t rest at night
A good woman that I’m loving: done took my appetite
And she quit me she left me: to sing this song
You never miss your friend: till you caught your train
and gone
And I’m going downtown: going to stay right there till
fall
Don’t get the gal I want: I don’t want no girl at all
Say you talk about Sally: talk about Sally Lou
Well the woman that I’m crazy about: she knows just what
to do What’s the matter now baby: that I could not treat you
kind
You give me a bad‑luck deal: kept something on my mind
