Downhearted Blues

Downhearted Blues - Alberta Hunter

My man mistreated me

And he drove me from his door

Lord he mistreated me

And he drove me from his door

But the Good Book says you've got to reap

Just what you sow

I got the world in a jug got the supper

Right here in my hand

I got the world in a jug got the supper

Right here in my hand

And if you want me sweet papa

You gotta come under my command

Say I ain't never loved

But three men in my life

Lord I ain't never loved

But three men in my life

But my father and my brother and a man

That wretched my life

Lord it may be a week

And it may be a month or two

I said it may be a week

And it may be a month or two

All the dirt you're doing to me

Show coming home to you

Lord I walked the floor

Hang my head and cried

Lord I walked the floor

Hang my head and cried

Had the down hearted blues

And I couldn't be satisfied
