Lyrics Sinful Blues (12-11-24) - Bessie Smith

Sinful Blues (12-11-24)

I tried so hard to be your man
I put my future in your hands
And I’ve gone a million miles to reach your heart
And I did all that I could do
But all I did, dear, was to worry you
And now today, I hear you say
That we must part, we must part
But when you get out on that highway
And the blues starts coming down
Then you see just how lonesome life can be
Well then I hope you need somebody
And he dogs your heart around
Then you’ll cry
And wish that you were back with me, back with me
I know that love is never fair
And if you call me, I’ll be there
Just like a fool, I’ll always be in love with you
