A recording from 1939. One word missing - please help!
I woke up this mornin', heard somebody calling me I woke up this mornin', heard somebody calling me My man had packed his ______, said he was leaving for Tennessee Bad luck and trouble, looks like they're on me to stay Bad luck and trouble, looks like they're on me to stay But good luck is old fortune, and it's bound to fall my way Lord I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long I said I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long It takes a worried woman to trust this worried song If the blues where whiskey, I'd stay drunk all the time If the blues where whiskey, I'd stay drunk all the time Till the man I love would ease my troubled mind
This recording also dates from 1939.
My man mistreated me, and he drove me from his door Lord he mistreated me, and he drove me from his door But the Good Book says you've got to reap just what you sow I got the world in a jug, got the supper? right here in my hand I got the world in a jug, got the supper? right here in my hand And if you want me sweet papa you gotta come under my command Say I ain't never loved but three men in my life Lord I ain't never loved but three men in my life 't was my father and my brother and a man that wretched my life Lord it may be a week and it may be a month or two I said it may be a week and it may be a month or two All the dirt you're doin' to me sho' comin' home to you Lord I walked the floor, hang my head and cried Lord I walked the floor, hang my head and cried Had the down hearted blues, and I couldn't be satisfied.
Both composer and date of this recording are unknown to me.
Lord a woman is a fool, to put all her trust in just one man Yes a woman is a fool, to put all her trust in just one man She can never get him when she wants him, Just has to catch him when she can Yes when I was crazy about you, you were crazy 'bout somebody else You know when I was crazy about you, you were crazy 'bout somebody else I know I was a fool to let you jive me, Lord but I just couldn't help myself So get away from my window, stop knockin' on my door Lord get away from my window, ooh stop knockin' on my door Cause I got myself some pigmeat, And I don't want you no more He's got a punch like Joe Louis, and other charms that I admire He's got a punch like Joe Louis, and other charms that I admire And when that baby startin' to love me, Oh Lord he sets my heart on fire.
