Downhearted Blues

Downhearted Blues - Mildred Bailey and Her Alley Cats

Gee but it's hard to 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 'bout a man

He mistreated me all the time

The next man I get he's got to promise

To be mine all mine

'Cause he mistreated me

And he drove me from his door

Yeah he mistreated me

And he drove me from his door

But the good book says

You'll reap just what you sow

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

Got the world in a jug

The stopper's in my hand

And you want me

You got come under my command

Say I ain't never loved

But three men in my life

'T'was my father my brother

And the man who wrecked my life

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 I can't be satisfied

I can't be satisfied
