"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.
