[Verse 1]
Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken too
I've got the downhearted blues
Once I was crazy about a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get, he's got to promise to
Be mine, all mine
[Verse 2]
'Cause he mistreated me and he drove me from his door
Yes, he mistreated me and he drove me from his door
But the Good Book says you've got to reap just what you sow
[Verse 3]
Got the world in a jug, got the stopper in my hand
Got the world in a jug, got the stopper in my hand
And if you want me, sweet daddy, you've got to come under my command
[Verse 4]
He may be your man, but he's my man too
He may be your man, but he's my man too
'Cause he stays with me as often as he stays with you
[Verse 5]
Oh, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried
Oh, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried
I had the downhearted blues and couldn't be satisfied
Downhearted Blues was written by Alberta Hunter & Lovie Austin.
