Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My man's got somethin'
He gives me such a thrill
Every time he smiles at me
I can't keep my body still
I done cried so much
Look like I've got the mumps
I can't keep from worryin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps
[Verse 2]
I had a nightmare last night
When I laid down
When I woke up this mornin'
My sweet man couldn't be found
I'm goin' down to the river
Into it I'm goin' to jump
Can't keep from worryin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps
[Verse 3]
Someone knocked on my door
Last night when I was asleep
I thought it was that sweet man of mine
Makin' his 'fore-day creep
'Twas nothin but my landlord
A great big chump
Stay away from my door, Mister landlord
'Cause I'm down in the dumps
[Verse 4]
When I woke up
My pillow was wet with tears
Just one day from that man of mine
Seemed like a thousand years
But I'm gonna straighten up
Straighter than Andy Gump
Ain't no use of me tellin' that lie
'Cause I'm down in the dumps
[Verse 5]
I'm twenty-five years old
That ain't no old maid
I got plenty of vim and vitality
I'm sure that I can make the grade
I'm always like a tiger
I'm ready to jump
I need a whole lot of lovin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps
