China Doll Blues

Been around the world, guitar in my hand
Seen a lot places, don't understand
Why baby... I got these China Doll Blues
I tried sleeping, all day long
I drank my whiskey, dusk till dawn
But baby...I still got these China Doll Blues
I'm a bad boy, you know I been around
And I know girls in almost every town
(Chorus)
Not sure what happened, just one of those things
I got a bad, case of the blues, when I left Ol' Nanjing.
I tried so hard, to keep my cool
It just don't matter, I'm a love sick fool
(Chorus)
I can take em, or leave em, it's dis or dat
I can love and leave em, at the drop of a hat
But not you... (Chorus)
Not sure what happened, just one of those things
I got a bad, case of the blues, when I left Ol' Nanjing.
Somebody call the Doctor, and tell her the news
That I've come down with a real bad case, of them China Doll Blues

Miss Jane Kitty, she gave me the blues
Miss Jane Kitty, she gave me the blues
Miss Jane Kitty, she gave me the blues
Ain't life funny, Lord I got my walkin' shoes.
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd love Miss Jane Kitty one just more time.
Lord knows I'm just a ramblin' man
Lord knows I'm just a ramblin' man
Lord knows I'm just a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make in this world, the best I can.
I'm sitting here wonderin' why I'm all alone
I'm sitting here wonderin' why I'm all alone
I'm sitting here wonderin' why I'm all alone
I guess it's cause I'm just a rolling stone.
I can hang my hat, anywhere I choose
I can hang my hat, anywhere I choose
I can hang my hat, anywhere I choose
Miss Jane Kitty, she gave me the blues

Honey, ain't life funny,
Got no bread, got no money,
Got nobody, funny, I'm in love
I know, I gotta go,
But baby, I want you to know
I ain't got nobody, funny how I'm in love
I never knew, you would break heart
Now me and you, we must be apart
Baby, you drive me crazy,
And some, some day maybe
You'll see, it's funny, but I'm in love.
- Solo - Bridge -
Why, why oh why, do I
I try to define
This funny thing, I'm in love
One day, one day baby,
You say, one day maybe,
It's funny, funny but were in love

Your water needs toting', from the well.
Hand me that bucket, or pass me the pale...
Give me that thing… Give me that thing…
Ya got ta give me that thing, If you wanna do this right.
Yer wood need a chopin', I'll cut it by hand,
I'll split yer wood, as long as I can…
~Chorus~
That fence needs a mendin', she's fallen' down.
I'll pound them post down in the ground…
~Chorus~
If yer bread need a bakin', I'll give it a try.
I'll kneed your dough, till your bread rise…
~Chorus~
