Why Should I Care? Lyrics - Singles - Tampa Red

No one to love me, no one to care 

And the girl I'm loving, she don't play fair 

She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry 

Why should I care? 

I got a mind to ramble 

I got a mind to leave the town 

Oh, the girl I've been a loving 

She's gone and throwed me down 

How could she leave me, so cold in hand 

She give my money to another man 

She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry 

Why should I care? 

Good luck is a fortune, mama 

And it's bound to come my way 

I'm down now, baby 

But I will be up someday 

She pawned my diamonds, my watch and chains 

Would've pawned herself but she felt ashamed 

She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry 

Why should I care? 

Sometime I wonder, mama 

Who put the jinx on me? 

Well, I ain't no bad fella 

And I don't intend to be 

She left me sinkin' down on my bed 

Hopin' and wishing that I was dead 

She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry 

Why should I care? 

[Incomprehensible] mama 

That big boat whistle blows 

I'm leavin your city, mama 

And I won't be back no more
