Gee, but it's hard
|
to love someone
|
when that someone
|
don't love you!
|
I'm so disgusted
|
heart-broken, too
|
I've got those
|
down-hearted blues
|
Once I was crazy 'bout a man
|
he mistreated me all the time
|
The next man I get has got to
|
promise me to be mine, all mine!
|
Trouble, trouble
|
I've had it all my days
|
Trouble, trouble
|
I've had it all my days
|
It seems like trouble going to
|
follow me to my grave
|
I ain't never loved
|
but three mens in my life
|
I ain't never loved
|
but three men in my life
|
My father, my brother
|
the man that wrecked my life
|
It may be a week
|
it may be a month or two
|
It may be a week
|
it may be a month or two
|
But the day you quit me honey
|
it's comin' home to you
|
I got the world in a jug
|
the stopper's in my hand
|
I got the world in a jug
|
the stopper's in my hand
|
I'm gonna hold it until you meet
|
some of my demands
|
