Downhearted Blues |
| My man mistreated and he drove me from his door |
| Lord, he mistreated me and he drove me from his door |
| But the Good Book says you’ve got |
| To reap just what you sow |
| I got the world in a jug, got the supper? |
| Right here in my hand |
| I got the world in a jug, got the supper? |
| Right here in my hand |
| And if you want me, sweet papa |
| You gotta come under my command |
| Say, I ain’t never loved but three men in my life |
| Lord, I ain’t never loved but three men in my life |
| 'twas my father and my brother |
| And a man that wretched my life |
| Lord, it may be a week and it may be a month or two |
| I said, it may be a week and it may be a month or two |
| All the dirt you’re doin' to me |
| Sho' comin' home to you |
| Lord, I walked the floor, hang my head and cried |
| Lord, I walked the floor, hang my head and cried |
| Had the down hearted blues |
| And I couldn’t be satisified |
