Downhearted Blues Lyrics

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 he's got to promise me 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 wondr'ing 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

It seems that trouble's going to follow me to my grave

Got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand

Going to hold it, baby, till you come under my command

Oh, it may be a week and it may be a month or two

But the day you quit your 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

Hand the down hearted blues and couldn't be satisfied.
