[Verse 1]
She give you the blues in the daytime
Night time lyin' flat out on my back
She give you the blues in the daytime
Night time lyin' flat out on my natural back
You know your heart's in trouble
When you see a good gal pack her leavin' sack

[Verse 2]
She give you the blues in the daytime
Blues in the nighttime, too
She give you the blues in the daytime
Blues in the nighttime, too, yes she do
She'll give you one you catch to your lip
What is a poor boy supposed to do?

[Verse 3]
She give you the blues in the daytime
The whole wide world to see
She give you the blues in the daytime
The whole wide world to see, let them see
Is she cryin' 'bout your troubles
When you jump into the sea?

[Verse 4]
Well, the mean motor scooter
A real gone cat
Get the blues in the daytime
When she treat a boy like that
She'll give you the blues in the daytime
Blues in the nighttime too
They'll give you one you catch to your lip
What is a poor boy supposed to do?
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
She give you the blues in the daytime
The sun won't ever shine
She give you the blues in the daytime
And the sun won't ever shine, let it shine
Might make you move to California
And stay drunk all the time

[Verse 2]
She give you the blues in the daytime
Blues in the nighttime, too
She give you the blues in the daytime
The blues in the nighttime, too, yes she do, yes she dang sure do
She'll give you one you catch to your lip
What is a poor boy supposed to do?
What she do, what she tell you to do
