We-e-e-e-ll, My woman left me and I??m so glad she did
AE
You know my old gal left me and I??m glad she took the kids
BE
Now I got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in my bed
Chorus:
E
I got the good news blues, I??m smiling on a rainy day
A
I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away
BE
Aint got no aching bones, aint got no bills to pay
E
You see these politicians just tell you what they think we want to hear
A
You know it??s here one day and then it??s right out that other ear
BE
You know they promise us whiskey and won??t even give us a beer
Chorus
Instrumental solos
Chorus
Aint got no aching bones, aint got no bills I??m gonna pay
