Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you

I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, 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 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 that trouble's going to follow me to my grave

I ain't never loved but three men in my life

I ain't never loved but three men in my life

My Father, my brother and 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 coming 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 going to hold it
until you didn't come under my command
