Downhearted Blues Lyrics - Original Delta Blues - Son House

Got up this mornin' 

Feelin' sick and bad 

I'm thinkin' 'bout the good time 

That I once have had 

I said, I got up this mornin' 

And I said, I'm feelin' so sick and bad 

Yeah, I'm just thinkin' 'bout the good times, children 

That I, I once have had 

Did you ever love 

When they didn't love you? 

You know there wasn't satisfaction 

Didn't care what in the world you do 

I said you ever love 

I said, when they did not love you? 

Yeah, didn't look like there'd be satisfaction 

Didn't care what in this old world you do 

I tell her come here little girl 

Why don't you sit down on my knee? 

I just wanna tell you how 

You have been treatin' me 

I said, run here little girl 

I said sit right down here on my knee 

You know, I just wanna tell you 

Just how you've been treatin' me 

You know, that's a shame 

Ole dirty shame 

I'm so sorry the day, honey 

I ever knowed your name 

I said, you know that's a shame 

I said, it's a low down, ole dirty shame 

Oh, the way you been treatin' me 

Is a low down, ole dirty shame 

You know, love, love is a worried 

Old heart disease 

Look like the very one you be lovin' 

Is so hard to please 

I said, love 

I said, is a worried old heart disease 

Look like the very one you be lovin' 

Is so confound hard to please 

You know, I go into my room 

I sat down and cried 

I didn't have no blues 

But I wasn't satisfied 

Yes, I went in my room 

And I said, and I sat down and I cried 

Yes, I didn't have no blues 

But I just wasn't satisfied 

You know, did you ever get up in the mornin' 

With the blues three different ways? 

You had two mind to leave here 

And you didn't have but one such stay 

Did you ever get up in the mornin' 

With the blues three different ways? 

You know you had two mind to leave here 

But you didn't have but one such stay
