Once I lived the life of a millionaire,. Spending my money, I didn't care. I carried my friends out for a good time,. Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.
Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue. I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to. Seem like the whole world's wrong. Since my man's been gone.
I done pack my belong. Gonna leave my woes. Goin' to a better place. With a smile upon my face. . When that steam boat blows. And that Gulf stream flows.
I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you. Though it ain't no affair of mine. It's 'bout a gal named Sue and a boy named Lou. They were fighting all the time.
Stay way from me cause I'm in my sin. Stay way from me cause I'm in my sin. If this place gets raided, it's me and my gin. . Don't try me nobody, cause you will never win.
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore. Headed homebound just once more. To my Mississippi delta home. . Southland has that grand garden spot. Although you believe or not.
Madam Buff's was quite deluxe. Servants by the score. Footmen at each door. Butlers and maids galore. . But one day Sam, her kitchen man. Gave in his notice, he's through.
Lord, this house is goin' to get raided, yes, sir!. . Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the wall, turned to the wall,. Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the wall;.
Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue. I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to. Seem like the whole world's wrong. Since my man's been gone.
Blues on my mind, blues all around my head. Blues on my mind, and blues all around my head. I dreamed last night that the man that I love was dead. . I went to the graveyard, fell down on my knees.
Up in Harlem every Saturday night. When the highbrows get together it's just so right. They all congregate at an all night hop. And what they do is oo bop bee dap.
Twenty-five cents?. Ha! No! No!. I wouldn't pay twenty-five cents to go in nowhere 'cause listen here:. . Up in Harlem ev'ry Saturday night when the high-browns git together it's just too tight,.
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.
I woke up this morning with a awful aching head. I woke up this morning with a awful aching head. My new man had left me, just a room and a empty bed.
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.
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.
If I cal three times a day baby. Come and drive my blue away. When you come,be ready to play. Do your duty. . If you want to have some love. Give your baby your last buck.
Love, oh love, oh careless love. You've fly through my head like wine. You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl. And you nearly spoiled this life of mine.
