What can I do
To change your mind?Hey, hey

An a man in the west
Jus' sittin' here worryin'
Who you love the best?Hey, hey
What can I do to change your mind?
I got the blues for you, baby
You keep me worried all the timeYou say you love me
I believe in you
You kind of quit me

You keep me worried all the time'Now boy, you know I've got
the blues now'

Mama, what can I do?
Some old day you will want me
An I won't care a thing about you.~

"Big" Maceo Merriweather (March 31, 1905 - February 23, 1953) was a blues pianist and singer active in Chicago in the 1940s. Born Major Merriweather (or Merewether) in Atlanta, Georgia, he taught himself how to play piano. In the 1920s he moved to Detroit and began playing parties and clubs. In 1941, a desire to record led him to Chicago where he met and befriended Tampa Red. Red introduced him to Lester Melrose of Bluebird Records, who signed him to a recording contract.
