|
| No one to love me No one to care
|
| And the gal I’m loving
|
| She don’t play fair
|
| She gone an left me I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
|
| I got a mind to ramble
|
| I got a mind to leave the town
|
| 'Cause the gal I been a-loving
|
| She’s gone and throwed me down
|
| How could she leave me So cold in hand?
|
| She give my money
|
| To another man
|
| She gone an left me I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
|
| Good luck is a fortune, mama
|
| And it’s bound to come m’way
|
| I’m down now, baby
|
| But I will be up someday
|
| She pawned my diamond
|
| My watch and chain
|
| Would-a pawned herself
|
| But she felt ashamed
|
| She gone an left me I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
|
| Sometime I wonder, mama
|
| Who put the jinx on me?
|
| Well, I ain’t no bad fella
|
| And I don’t intend to be She left me thinkin'
|
| Down on my bed
|
| Hopin' and wishing
|
| That I was dead
|
| She gone an left me I shouldn’t worry, why should I care?
|
| Just as sho' as you hear, mama
|
| That big four whistle blow
|
| I’m leavin yo' city, mama
|
| An I won’t be back no mo'. |
