Classic Poem

I ain't been deprived of my best gal;
I don't want to go to Mich. or Cal.;
I got all I want to eat and drink,
But it makes me mournful when I think —
I say it makes me sad enough to sing and shout,
" I haven't got a thing to have the blues about. "
There is not a
Dog-goned thing;
I ain't got a
Blue to sing,
And I cannot weep, I said I cannot bawl,
Because I got no blues at all.
