Empty Bed Blues Part I |
Gee, but it’s hard to love someone when that someone don’t love you |
I’m so disgusted, heartbroken, too |
I’ve got those down hearted blues |
Once I was crazy 'bout a man |
He mistreated me all the time |
The next man I get he’s got to promise to be mine, all mine |
If I could only find the man oh how happy I would be |
To the good Lord ev’ry night I pray |
Please send my man back to me |
I’ve almost worried myself to death wond’ring why he went away |
But just wait and see he’s gonna want me back some sweet day |
Trouble, trouble, I’ve had it all my days |
Trouble, trouble, I’ve had it all my days |
It seems that trouble’s going to follow me to my grave |
Got the world in a jug, the stopper’s in my hand |
Got the world in a jug |
The stopper’s in my hand |
Going to hold it, baby, till you come under my command |
Say, I ain’t never loved but three men in my life |
No, I ain’t never loved but three men in my life |
'T'was my father, brother and the man who wrecked my life |
'Cause he mistreated me and he drove me from his door |
Yeah, he mistreated me and he drove me from his door |
But the good book says you’ll reap just what you sow |
Oh, it may be a week and it may be a month or two |
Yes, it may be a week and it may be a month or two |
But the day you quit me honey, it’s coming home to you |
Oh, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried |
Yes, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried |
Had the down hearted blues and couldn’t be satisfied |
