| 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 |
