You hear me singing this lonesome song
I've had more trouble than the days are long
But after all my bad trying
I’ll get a break someday
Now I am doing the best I can
But my friend, she don't understand
But after all my bad trying
I'll get a break someday
She left me ill and in despair
With grief and worry everywhere
But after all my hard trying
I’ll get a break someday
Play that thing, play it
Yes I'm too sad to be true
But she left me helpless and awful blue
But after all my bad trying
I'll get a break someday
You wonder why I weep and moan
She wrecked my life and now she's gone
But after all my bad trying
I'll get a break someday
Now all I need is a helpin' hand
And some sweet woman that will understand
Then after all my bad trying
I'll get a break someday
