Deja Vu Blues Lyrics

My baby's gone off without me

Done left me high 'n dry

Where she is I can't rightly say

Never left a note saying goodbye

Done spent all last weeks pay on her

She drank my whiskey and gin

And no doubt tomorrow morning

She's gonna wake up and do it all again

All you people know my problem

None of these fast women I can refuse

Lord it'll be a surprise to nobody

Why I got me the Déjà vu Blues

Baby's left me this morning

Can't think of a reason why

Heading north with some white man

And all I can do is moan and cry

Took my mama's upper dentures

Looks like she done took everything

Now I got that low-down dirty feeling

Its the Déjà vu Blues all over again

All you people know my problem

These fast women I can refuse

Nobody is gonna be surprised

Why I got me the Déjà vu Blues

Woke up this morning

Wind blowing through my back door

Looks like I'll never learn

Lord knows I've been through this before

Hound dog out back is barking

He's already heard the bad news

Nobody will be surprised to hear

I got me the Déjà vu Blues

She acted as if I'm rich enough

To eat my best laying hens

But when she was all gussied up

She was hotter than whoopee in woolens

Born on the wrong side of the blanket

Seems all last week has been in vain

I best get back to my rat killing

I got dem Déjà vu Blues all over again

Yes I best get me back to my rat killing

I got dem Déjà vu Blues all over again
