Just tell me, baby
Just tell me, baby
What can I do
To change your mind?

Hey, hey
Baby can I change your mind?
I got the freight train blues
The tracks is outta line

You got a man in the east
An a man in the west
Jus′ sittin' here worryin′
Who you love the best?


Hey, hey
What can I do to change your mind?
I got the blues for you, baby
You keep me worried all the time

You say you love me
I believe in you
You kind of quit me
What mo' can I do?

Hey, hey
Baby, can I change yo' mind?
I got the blue for you, baby
You keep me worried all the time

′Now boy, you know I′ve got
The blues now'
′Play 'em for me, now′

(Piano & guitar)

'Yas, yas, yas, yas′

My mama got 'em
My papa got 'em
My sister told me
That she had them, too


Hey, hey
Mama, what can I do?
Some old day you will want me
An I won′t care a thing about you.
