Texty

[Verse 1]
Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, downhearted too
I've got the downhearted blues
[Verse 2]
Once I was crazy 'bout a man
He mistreated me all the time
But the next man I get has got to promise to
Be mine, all mine
[Verse 3]
Oh, he mistreated me
And he drove me from his door
He mistreated me
And he drove me from his door
[Verse 4]
But the good book says
You'll reap just what you sow
[Verse 5]
Got the world in a jug
Got the stopper in my hand
Got the world in a jug, Lord
Got the stopper in my hand
And if you want me
You gotta come under my command
[Verse 6]
Say, I ain't never loved but
Three man in my life
I ain't never loved but
Three man in my life
'T'was my father, my brother
And the man who wrecked my life
[Verse 7]
Oh, I walk the floor
Wrung my hands and cried
I walk the floor
Wrung my hands and cried
I've got the downhearted blues
And can't be satisfied, I can't be satisfied
