I'm Down In The Dumps (11-24-33) |
My man’s got somethin', he gives me such a thrill |
Every time he smiles at me, I can’t keep my body still |
I done cried so much, look like I’ve got the mumps |
I can’t keep from worryin', 'cause I’m down in the dumps |
I had a nightmare last night, when I laid down |
When I woke up this mornin', my sweet man couldn’t be found |
I’m goin' down to the river, into it I’m goin' to jump |
Can’t keep from worryin', 'cause I’m down in the dumps |
Someone knocked on my door, last night when I was asleep |
I thought it was that sweet man of mine, makin' his 'fore day creep |
Wasn’t nothin' but my landlord, a great big chump |
Stay away from my door, Mr. Landlord, 'cause I’m down in the dumps |
When I woke up, my pillow was wet with tears |
Just one day from that man of mine |
Seems like a thousand years |
But I’m gonna straighten up, straighter than Andy Gump |
Ain’t no use of me tellin' that lie, 'cause I’m down in the dumps |
I’m twenty-five years old, that ain’t no old maid |
I got plenty of vim and vitality, I’m sure that I can make the grade |
I’m always like a tiger, I’m ready to jump |
I need a whole lots of lovin', 'cause I’m down in the dumps |
