Please Help Me Get Him Out of My Mind

Please Help Me Get Him Out Of My Mind - Bessie Smith

I've cried and worried all night

And I laid and groaned

I've cried and worried all night

And I laid and groaned

I used to weigh two hundred now

I'm down to skin and bones

It's all about a man

Who always kicked and dogged me 'round

It's all about a man

Who always kicked and dogged me 'round

And when I try to kill him

That's when my love for him comes down

I've come to see you gypsy

Beggin' on my bended knees

I've come to see you gypsy

Beggin' on my bended knees

That man's put something on me

Oh take it off of me please

It starts at my forehead and

Goes clean down to my toes

It starts at my forehead and

Goes clean down to my toes

Oh how I'm sufferin' gypsy

Nobody by the good Lord knows

Gypsy don't hurt him

Fix him for me one more time

Oh don't hurt him gypsy

Fix him for me one more time

Just make him love me but

Please mam take him off my mind
