When You Feel Down and Out Songtext
von Yank Rachell

Gather around me, people, I want to sing you all some lonesome blues
I said, gather ′round me, people,
I want to sing you all some lonesome blues
You know, when you feel mistreated,
how your woman done mistreated you, sometimes just like women will do

I know sometimes you feel kind of lonesome,
baby, when you be feelin' kind of down and out
I know sometimes you be feelin′ kind of
lonesome, then you'll be feelin' kind of down and out
But you know, I don′t ever feel the worried blues,
′til I get in the neighborhood of my baby's house


I said, I′m gon' call up Central,
tell her to, "Give me Butterfly′s number, if you please"
I'm gonna call up Central, tell her,
"Give me Butterfly′s number, if you please"
You know, said,
"I'm gonna call up my baby, Lord, and my baby, she won't talk to me"

When you ever kind of feel kind of worried, mama,
won′t you please come and listen to these blues?
When you kind of feel kind of lonesome, mama,
won′t you please come and listen to these blues?
I know it's keep you from sleepin′ at
night, baby, baby sometime, just like I do

"Play it once for me, boys, long as I got 'em"
