| 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 |
