Downhearted Blues Songtext
von Jimmy Rushing

Gee, but it′s hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I′m so disgusted and heartbroken too
I've got those downhearted blues

Once I was crazy about a girl
She mistreated me all the time
The next girl that I get
Got to promise me that she'll be mine, all mine


Trouble, trouble
I′ve had it all my day
Trouble, trouble
I′ve had it all my day
Trouble, trouble
Follow me to my grave

Got the world in a jug
And the stopper in my hand
I've got the world in a jug
And the stopper in my hand
I′m gonna hold it baby
Until you come under my command

I ain't never love but three women in my life
I ain′t never love but three women in my life
My mother and my sister
And the woman that wrecked my life
