The sheet music:


Lyrics

1. Say Folks, I’ve got the Oklahoma
I said, got the I mean blues
Oh Lord, I’ve got the weary ramblin’ blues
And when I sleep, I don’t take off my shoes
Cause my sweet baby-by went and packed her
I said, packed her, I mean clothes
Oh, my sweet baby went and packed her clothes
Gone to Oklahoma where the crude oil glows
Let’s go dance
I’ll catch a rattler, oh I mean a train
If I don’t find her I’m going insane
She is the onliest gal that I choose
To cure my Oklahoma Blues

2. If I had legs like a bull frog in the
I said, in the, I mean pond
If I had legs like a bull frog in the pond
I’d make one jump and land in my baby’s arms
Oh, Honey Baby, daddy double do
I said, do love, I mean you, Honey Baby
Daddy Double Do Love you
And I don’t care what my sweet Mama do
Whenever I hear the phone in the hall
I think that it is a long distance call
My pure-dee baby, please send me some news
To cure my Oklahoma Blues
