"Oh aint I got the Blues!" is a song and dance tune written by A.A. Chapman and published in 1871. In the song the dancer is bemoaning how unlucky he is. Each verse ends with the chorurs: Oh aint I got the blues! My sadness you'd excuse, If you knew like me what 'tis to have Such a terrible fit of the blues.[1]}}
The chorus ends with a short dance routine. The earliest sheet music identifies it as performed by the Welch, Hughes & White's Minstrels. "Oh aint I got the Blues!" is often cited as being one of the early "blues"-titled songs.[2]
