Singing And Crying Blues Lyrics - Tampa Red

I got a feeling which I never had before 

Trouble and sorrow keep knocking at my door 

But I have all to gain and nothing to lose 

I must have got me passion of joy 

What I go through with nobody knows 

And yet I go singing and crying the blues 

I'm just a lonely motherless child 

Trouble and sorrows are driving me wild 

But it will all be over after a while 

I keep it trying but can't get nowhere 

Aching with trouble and no one to care 

And yet I go singing and crying the blues 

No decent clothes and I can't have no shoes 

Can't have no loving but yet I have the blues 

So folks you see I ain't got no time to lose 

My girl had quit me and she gone away 

But I'm just hoping that she'll come back someday 

And still I go singing and crying the blues 

Why do my trouble lasts me so long? 

I never bother or done nobody wrong 

Ain't got no loving, ain't got no place for home 

Soon I'll be lucky and it won't be long 

With plenty of dollar and my gang of diamond stone 

And then I'll be soon singing and crying the blues
