Gee, but it's hard to love some-one when that some-one don't love you.
I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, too.
I've got those down heart-ed blues.
Once I was cra-zy 'bout a man/gal.
He/She mistreated me all the time.
The next man/gal I get he's/she's got to promise to be mine, all mine.
If I could only find the man/gal oh how happy I would be.
To the Good Lord ev-'ry night I pray.
Please send my man/gal back to me
I've al-most wor-ried my - self to death won-d'ring why he/she went a - way.
But just wait and see he's/she's gon-na want me back some sweet day.
Trou - ble, trou-ble, I've had it all my days.
Trou - ble, trou-ble, I've had it all my days.
It seems that trou-ble's going to fol-low me to my grave.
Got the World in a jug, the stop-per's in my hand.
Got the world in a jug.
The stop-per's in my hand.
Going to hold it, ba-by, till you come un-der my com-mand.
Say, I ain't never loved but three men/women in my life.
No, I ain't never loved but three men/women in my life
'Twas my father/mother, brother/sister and the man/woman who wrecked my life
'Cause he/she mistreated me and he/she drove me from his/her door.
Ye, he/she mistreated me and he/she drove me from his/her 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.
