Downhearted Blues

Lyrics

Got up this mornin'
 Feelin' sick and bad
 I'm thinkin' 'bout the good time
 That I once have had
 I said, I got up this mornin'
 And I said, I'm feelin' so sick and bad
 Yeah, I'm just thinkin' 'bout the good times, children
 That I, I once have had
 Did you ever love
 When they didn't love you?
 You know there wasn't satisfaction
 Didn't care what in the world you do
 I said you ever love
 I said, when they did not love you?
 Yeah, didn't look like there'd be satisfaction
 Didn't care what in this old world you do
 I tell her come here little girl
 Why don't you sit down on my knee?
 I just wanna tell you how
 You have been treatin' me
 I said, run here little girl
 I said sit right down here on my knee
 You know, I just wanna tell you
 Just how you've been treatin' me
 You know, that's a shame
 Ole dirty shame
 I'm so sorry the day, honey
 I ever knowed your name
 I said, you know that's a shame
 I said, it's a low down, ole dirty shame
 Oh, the way you been treatin' me
 Is a low down, ole dirty shame
 You know, love, love is a worried
 Old heart disease
 Look like the very one you be lovin'
 Is so hard to please
 I said, love
 I said, is a worried old heart disease
 Look like the very one you be lovin'
 Is so confound hard to please
 You know, I go into my room
 I sat down and cried
 I didn't have no blues
 But I wasn't satisfied
 Yes, I went in my room
 And I said, and I sat down and I cried
 Yes, I didn't have no blues
 But I just wasn't satisfied
 You know, did you ever get up in the mornin'
 With the blues three different ways?
 You had two mind to leave here
 And you didn't have but one such stay
 Did you ever get up in the mornin'
 With the blues three different ways?
 You know you had two mind to leave here
 But you didn't have but one such stay
