My wife said she was leavin'

And so she left me flat

I lost my job last evening

I guess that ended that

My pocket's sure am empty

I ain't paid my union dues

The bets ain't made

The bills ain't paid

But still I got good news

I'm gonna pull off my coat

Gonna roll up my sleeve

Do just exactly as I please

I'm gonna swing and sway shout hurray

I'm gonna boogie woogie boogie my blues away

They took my car this mornin'

'Cause I didn't have no loot

Just walkin' to the corner

I tore my Sunday suit

I lost my watch and pocket chain

And brother that ain't all

My wife came by and blacked my eye

But still you'll hear me call

I'm gonna pull off my coat

Gonna roll up my sleeve

Do just exactly as I please

I'm gonna swing and sway shout hurray

I'm gonna boogie woogie boogie my blues away

I'm gonna boogie

Gonna boogie woogie boogie my blues away
