Down-Hearted Blues

Gee, but it's hard to love someone

When that someone don't love you;

I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, too

I've got those down-hearted blues

I was crazy 'bout a gal

She mistreated me all the time

Next gal I get, she's got to promise to

Be mine, all mine

'Cause she mistreated me

And she drove me from her door;

Yes, she mistreated me

She drove me from her door

But the Good Book says

She'll reap just what she'll sow

I ain't never loved but three women in all my life

I never loved but three women in all my life

That was my mother, my sister, and the gal that wrecked my life

All the dirt you done to me

Is bound to come back to you
