Sorrowful Blues

Sorrowful Blues - Bessie Smith

If you catch me stealin'

I don't mean no harm

If you catch me stealin'

I don't mean no harm

It's a mark in my family

And it must be carryin' on

I got nineteen men

And I won't want more

I got nineteen men

And i won't want more

If I had one more

I'd let that nineteen go

I'm gonna tell you daddy

Like Solomon told the Jew

I'm gonna tell you daddy

Like Solomon told the Jew

If you don't like-ee me

Me sure don't like-ee you

It's hard to love another woman's man

It's hard to love another woman's man

You catch him when you want

Him you got to catch him when you can

Have you ever seen a peaches

Grow on sweet potato vine

Have you ever seen a peaches

Grow on sweet potato vine

Just step in my backyard and

Take a peep at mine
