[Verse 1]
I got rambling, I got rambling on my mind
I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind
Hate to leave my baby but you treat me so unkind

[Verse 2]
I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind
Little girl, little girl, I got mean things all on my mind
Hate to leave you here babe but you treats me so unkind

[Verse 3]
Runnin' down to the station, catch the first mail train I see
Runnin' down to the station, catch that old first mail train I see
I got the blues 'bout Miss. So-and-So and the child got the blues about me

[Verse 4]
And I'm leavin' this mornin' with my arm fold up and cryin'
And I'm leavin' this mornin' with my arm fold up and cryin'
I hate to leave my baby but she treats me so unkind

[Verse 5]
I got mean things, I've got mean things on my mind
I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind
I got to leave my baby, well, she treats me so unkind
