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.
