Ethel Waters Georgia Blues Lyrics

Georgia Blues Lyrics

I feel bad, 

I feel sad, 

But it won't be very long 

Before I'll be feeling glad, 

I just sigh, 

I could die; 

I have got Georgia blues, 

And I'm just too mean to cry; 

I don't live in Boston; 

I wasn't born in Maine; 

If I don't go to Georgia, 

I will surely go insane. 



I've got the Georgia blues, 

'Cause I've got bad news; 

I'm gonna catch a train, 

And I ain't gonna stop until I'm home, 

Home again; 

I'm not satisfied, 

Just must take a ride; 

Gee, but I'll be happy 

With my baby by my side; 

Hear that whistle blow, 

Now it's time to go, 

'Cause the train is waiting, 

Got no time to lose, 

A certain party that I know 

Offered me a ticket to Chicago. 

But he can have it, I don't want it, 

'Cause I got the Georgia blues. 



I've got those Georgia blues, 

'Cause I got bad news 

I'm gonna catch a train, 

And I ain't gonna stop until I'm home, home, 

Home again; 

I'm not satisfied, 

Just must take a ride; 

Gee, but I'll be happy 

With my sweet daddy by my side; 

Hear that whistle blow, 

Now it's time to go, 

My train is waiting 

Got no time to lose, 

A party wanted to marry me, way last spring, 

Even bought me a brand new diamond ring, 

But he can have it, I don't want it, 

'Cause I got the Georgia blues
