Why Should I Care? Songtext
von Tampa Red

No one to love me, no one to care
And the girl I′m loving, she don't play fair
She′s gone and left me, I shouldn't worry
Why should I care?

I got a mind to ramble
I got a mind to leave the town
Oh, the girl I've been a loving
She′s gone and throwed me down

How could she leave me, so cold in hand
She give my money to another man
She′s gone and left me, I shouldn't worry
Why should I care?


Good luck is a fortune, mama
And it′s bound to come my way
I'm down now, baby
But I will be up someday

She pawned my diamonds, my watch and chains
Would′ve pawned herself but she felt ashamed
She's gone and left me, I shouldn′t worry
Why should I care?

Sometime I wonder, mama
Who put the jinx on me?
Well, I ain't no bad fella
And I don't intend to be

She left me sinkin′ down on my bed
Hopin′ and wishing that I was dead
She's gone and left me, I shouldn′t worry
Why should I care?


[Incomprehensible] mama
That big boat whistle blows
I'm leavin? your city, mama
And I won′t be back no more
