Downhearted Blues - Alberta Hunter

My man mistreated me

And he drove me from his door

Lord he mistreated me

And he drove me from his door

But the Good Book says

You've got to reap just

What you sow

I got the world in a jug

Got the supper right here

In my hand

I got the world in a jug

And the supper right here

In my hand

And if you want me sweet papa

You gotta come under my command

Say I am never loved but

Three men in my life

Lord I am never loved but

Three men in my life

Was my father and my brother

And a man that wretched my life

Lord it may be a week

And it may be a month or two

I said it may be a week

And it may be a month or two

All the dirt you're doing to me

Shon coming home to you

Lord I walked the floor

Hang my head and cried

Lord I walked the floor

Hang my head and cried

Had the down hearted blues

And I couldn't be satisfied
