Down Hearted Blues - Bessie Smith

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
