Downhearted Blues - Bessie Smith
Written by:Austin/Hunter
Gee but it's hard
You love someone
When that someone
Don't love you
I'm so disgusted heartbroken too
I've got those down hearted blues
Once I was crazy
About 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 that trouble's
Going to follow me to my grave
I ain't never loved but
Three men in my life
I ain't never loved but
Three men in my life
My father my brother
And 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 coming 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 going to hold it until you
Didn't come under my command
