Calloway Cab - Down-Hearted Blues - Текст песни

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; 
Once I was crazy 'bout a man; he mistreated me all the time, 
The next man I get has got to promise me to be mine, all mine! 

Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days, 
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days; 
It seems like trouble going to follow me to my grave. 

I ain't never loved but three mens in my life; 
I ain't never loved but three men in my life: 
My father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life. 

It may be a week, it may be a month or two, 
It may be a week, it may be a month or two, 
But the day you quit me, honey, it's comin' home to you. 

I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand, 
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand, 
I'm gonna hold it until you meet some of my demands.

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. 

[Heavily scatted] 
All the dirt you done to me 
Is bound to come back to you.
