A tree grows in my back yard
It only grows at night
Its branches they're all twisted
Its leaves are afraid of light

They say them blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when it's lonely in the morning
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead

There's winds out on the ocean
They're blowin' just as they choose
But them winds ain't got no emotion, baby
They don't know the blues

They say them blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when it's lone, lonely in the morning
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead

My mind's ramblin' and ramblin'
Just like some a-rolling stone, no
Since that nightmare come to stay with me, baby
My thoughts just don't belong

They say them blues is just a bad dream, babe
They say it lives upside your head, hey hey
But when they visit you around midnight
You're bound to wish that you were lyin' dead
