Downhearted Blues |
| 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 |
