Lyrics:

White man take the blues, he walk to the river and set down
White man take the blues, he walk to the river and set down
If the blues get too heavy, he'll jump overboard and drown
Colored man take the blues, he walk to the river and set down
Gets stuck by a Nehi mama and he turn right short around
Now mama, I wonder what's goin' on, mama, since I left town
Now, East and West, North and South
Why, the Nehi women have done turned me out
'Cause they can Eagle Rock me, they can stop me
A-from the thing that I used to do
I've got the Nehi blues, mama, don't know what in the world to do
A-now, T for Texas, T for Tennessee
S is a mighty bad letter for they stole her 'way from me
'Cause she can Eagle Rock me, she can stop me
A-from the thing that I used to do
I've got the Nehi blues, mama, don't know what in the world to do

Now, down on the Third Street, the corner of Beale
Where the Nehi women have got a terrible spiel
'Cause they can Eagle Rock you, they can stop you
A-from the thing that you used to do
I've got the Nehi blues, don't know what in the world to do
Now, Papa got to singin', my folks got to cryin'
The Nehi women stays on my mind
'Cause they can Eagle Rock Me, they can stop me
A-from the thing that I used to do
I've got the Nehi blues, don't know what in the world to do

Now, listen, that's the police, layin' on my door
The Nehi women keep me everywhere I go
'Cause they can Eagle Rock me, they can stop me
A-from the thing that I used to do
I've got the Nehi blues, mama, don't know what in the world to do

I've got the Nehi blues, don't know what in the world to do
