My woman left me and I'm sure glad she did My old gal left me and I'm glad she took the kids Now I got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in a bed I got the good news blues, smilin' on a rainy day Got the good news blues, done sung all my troubles away Ain't got no achin' bones, got no bills to pay A politician will say what you want to hear Lord it's here one day and right out the other ear He'll promise you whiskey and won't even give you a beer Got the good news blues, smilin' on a rainy day Got the good news blues, done sung all my troubles away Ain't got no achin' bones, got no bills to pay
