My man's got somethin', he gives me such a thrill |
|
Every time he smiles at me, I can't keep my body still |
|
I done cried so much, look like I've got the mumps |
|
I can't keep from worryin', 'cause I'm down in the dumps |
|
I had a nightmare last night, when I laid down |
|
When I woke up this mornin', my sweet man couldn't be found |
|
I'm goin' down to the river, into it I'm goin' to jump |
|
Can't keep from worryin', 'cause I'm down in the dumps |
|
Someone knocked on my door, last night when I was asleep |
|
I thought it was that sweet man of mine, makin' his 'fore day creep |
|
Wasn't nothin' but my landlord, a great big chump |
|
Stay away from my door, Mr. Landlord, 'cause I'm down in the dumps |
|
When I woke up, my pillow was wet with tears |
|
Just one day from that man of mine |
|
Seems like a thousand years |
|
But I'm gonna straighten up, straighter than Andy Gump |
|
Ain't no use of me tellin' that lie, 'cause I'm down in the dumps |
|
I'm twenty-five years old, that ain't no old maid |
|
I got plenty of vim and vitality, I'm sure that I can make the grade |
|
I'm always like a tiger, I'm ready to jump |
|
I need a whole lots of lovin', 'cause I'm down in the dumps |
