He's Gone Blues

He's Gone Blues - Bessie Smith

Written by：Bessie Smith

I feel blue I want someone to cheer me

Oh so blue because my man's not near me

I'm gettin' tired of bein' alone

I want my good man to come on home

He's gone and left me

He's gone away to stay

I never had a man in my whole life

To treat me this a way

I work hard all the dyin' day

I even let him draw my pay

He packed his grip and left on Christmas day

Oh well I guess he's gone

Any fair minded woman got to go insane

In the past days she head headed for the train

Since my man is gone he's gone away to roam

All I can say he's gone gone gone

He's gone and left me

He's gone away today

I never had a man in my whole life

To treat me this a way

I work hard all the dyin' day

I even let him draw my pay

He packed his grip and left on Christmas day

Oh well I guess he's gone

Oh well I guess he's gone
