Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers Downhearted Blues

[Verse 1]
Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken too
I've got the downhearted blues

[Verse 2]
Once I was crazy about a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get had better promise me to be mine, all mine

[Verse 3]
Trouble trouble, I had them all my days
Trouble trouble, I had them all my days
Well, it seems like trouble is gonna carry me to my grave

[Verse 4]
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
It was my father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life

[Verse 5]
Well, it may be a week, well, it may be a month or two
Well, it may be a week, well, it may be a month or two
But the day you quit me, baby, it's comin' right home to you

[Verse 6]
I've got the world in a jug, I've got the stopper right in my hands
I've got the world in a jug, I've got the stopper right in my hand
I'm going to hold it, baby, until you come under my command
