Downhearted Blues

Downhearted Blues - Mildred Bailey

Gee but it's hard to love someone

When that someone don't love you

I'm so disgusted downhearted too

I've got the downhearted blues

Once I was crazy 'bout a man

He mistreated me all the time

But the next man I get

Has got to promise to be mine all mine

God he mistreated me and he drove me from his door

He mistreated me and he drove me from his door

But the Good Book says

You've reap just what you sow

Got the world in a jug

Got the supper in my hand

Got the world in a jug oh

Got the supper in my hand

And if you want me

You gotta come under my command

Say I ain't never loved

But three men in my life

I ain't never loved

But three men in my life

Was my father my brother

And a man who wretched my life

Oh I walked the floor

Hang my head and cried

I walked the floor

Hang my head and cried

Have got the downhearted blues

And can't be satisfied

I can't be satisfied
