[Intro]D7G7D7A7G7D7A7[Verse 1]
Lord, I wonder
what
D7
done happened
D7
Ain't nobody here
but me
All these empty
bottles on the

table here
I know I didn't
drink all
D7
this by myself
I must have a
blues
A7
hangover
G7

And I don't have
change
for a grasshopper
and
that's two
A7
crookies
D7
Uh oh

this doggie
But he ain't got
G7
no money
G7
Look like he
done lost
everything he
ever just had
Ain't that's a
D7
come-off
D7
Dear me
A7
I done gave my
baby
twenty dollars
for a Christmas
present
G7
All I got was a
slice of jelly
cake
D7
And Sam and
Nedetta
Now that's a
A7
wolf-jenny
[Verse 3]D7
Well, I'll
believe
I'll go
on back on the
stem now
D7
With James,
Rudolph and
Tom Cat
Get my head bad
G7

Don't seem like
nothin' goin'

D7
All Right,

A7
Same old thing
again
G7
Look out
