I Ain't Got Nobody

I Ain't Got Nobody - Bessie Smith

There's a saying going 'round and I begin to think it's true

It's awful hard to love someone when they don't care 'bout you

Once I had a lovin' man as good as many in this town

But now I'm sad and lonely for he's gone and turned me down now

I ain't got nobody and nobody cares for me

I got the blues the weary blues

And I'm sad and lonely won't somebody come and take a chance with me

I'll sing sweet love songs honey all the time

If you'll come and be my sweet baby mine

'Cause I ain't got nobody and nobody cares for me

Won't somebody go and find my man and bring him back to me

It's awful hard to be alone and without sympathy

Once I was a loving gal as good as any in this town
