Wasted Life Blues Lyrics

 

Dirty No Gooder's Blues - Bessie Smith

I've lived a life but nothin' I've gained

Each day I'm full of sorrow and pain

 

No one seems to care enough for poor me

 

To give me a word of sympathy

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will the yi and me

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will become of poor me

 

No father to guide me no mother to care

Must bear my troubles alone

 

Not even a brother to help me share

This burden I must bear alone

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will mine and me

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will become of poor me

 

I'm settin' and thinkin' of the days gone by

 

They filled my heart with pain

 

I'm too weak to stand and too strong to cry

But I'm forgittin' it all in vain

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will mine and me

 

Oh me Oh my

Wonder what will become of poor me

 

I've traveled and wandered almost everywhere

To git a little joy from life

 

Still I've gained nothin' but wars and despairs

Still strugglin' in this world of strife

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will mine and me

 

Oh me Oh my

 

Wonder what will become of poor me
