[Verse 1]
Bb7
When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair
     Eb7                         Bb7
When I get the blues, I get me a rockin' chair
      F7                              Eb7                  Bb7
Well, if the blues over take me gonna rock right away from here

Bb7
Now when I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
     Eb7                               Bb7
When I get lonesome, I jump on the telephone
  F7                         Eb7            Bb7
I call my baby, tell her I'm on my way back home

I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog, sittin' on a hollow stump
       Eb7                                       Bb7
Like a Mississippi bullfrog, sittin' on a hollow stump
      F7               Eb7                     Bb7
I got so many women, I don't know which way to jump
