Down-Hearted Blues

歌詞

Gee, but it's hard to love someone when that someone don't love you! I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, 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 has got to promise me to be mine, all mine! Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days, Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days; It seems like trouble going to follow me to my grave. I ain't never loved but three mens in my life; I ain't never loved but three men in my life: My father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life. It may be a week, it may be a month or two, It may be a week, it may be a month or two, But the day you quit me, honey, it's comin' home to you. I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand, I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand, I'm gonna hold it until you meet some of my demands. Another version ------------------- Gee, but it's hard to love someone When that someone don't love you; I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, too I've got those down-hearted blues. I was crazy 'bout a gal, She mistreated me all the time, Next gal I get, she's got to promise to Be mine, all mine. 'Cause she mistreated me, And she drove me from her door; Yes, she mistreated me, She drove me from her door, But the Good Book says, She'll reap just what she'll sow. I ain't never loved but three women in all my life, I never loved but three women in all my life, That was my mother, my sister, and the gal that wrecked my life. [Heavily scatted] All the dirt you done to me Is bound to come back to you.
