Gee, but it's hard to love someone when that someone don't love you 
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, 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 he's got to promise to be mine, all mine 
If I could only find the man oh how happy I would be 
To the good Lord ev'ry night I pray 
Please send my man back to me 
I've almost worried myself to death wond'ring why he went away 
But just wait and see he's gonna want me back some sweet day 
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days 
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days 
It seems that trouble's going to follow me to my grave 
Got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand 
Got the world in a jug 
The stopper's in my hand 
Going to hold it, baby, till you come under my command 
Say, I ain't never loved but three men in my life 
No, I ain't never loved but three men in my life 
'T'was my father, brother and the man who wrecked my life 
'Cause he mistreated me and he drove me from his door 
Yeah, he mistreated me and he drove me from his door 
But the good book says you'll reap just what you sow 
Oh, it may be a week and it may be a month or two 
Yes, it may be a week and it may be a month or two 
But the day you quit me honey, it's coming home to you 
Oh, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried 
Yes, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried 
Had the down hearted blues and couldn't be satisfied
