[Verse 1]
I got a baby on the East Coast
I got a gig goin' on the West Coast
Suitcase full of sorrow
Tired of payin' traveling dues
Lonely in the evenin'
No good make believin'
Anyone else could make me happy
Like my little darlin'
One of these days I'm gonna pack my bags and go way back home
Where I can see my baby on the East Coast
I got the blues

[Verse 2]
I got a baby on the East Coast
I got a gig goin' on the West Coast
Suitcase full of sorrow
Tired of payin' traveling dues
Lonely in the evenin'
No good make believin'
Anyone else could make me happy
Like my little darlin'
One of these days I'm gonna pack my bags and go way back home
Where I can see my baby on the East Coast
I got the blues
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I got a baby on the East Coast
I got a gig goin' on the West Coast
Suitcase full of sorrow
Tired of payin' traveling dues
Lonely in the evenin'
No good make believin'
Anyone else could make me happy
Like my little darlin'
One of these days I'm gonna pack my bags and go way back home
Where I can see my baby on the East Coast
I got the blues
