Cab Calloway - Down-Hearted Blues Lyrics
Gee, but it's hard to love someoneWhen that someone don't love you;I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, tooI've got those down-hearted blues.I was crazy 'bout a gal,She mistreated me all the time,Next gal I get, she's got to promise toBe mine, all mine.'Cause she mistreated me,And she drove me from her door;Yes, she mistreated me,She drove me from her door,But the Good Book says,She'll reap just what she'll sow.I ain't never loved but three women in all my life,I never loved but three women in all my life,That was my mother, my sister, and the gal that wrecked my life.[Heavily scatted]All the dirt you done to meIs bound to come back to you.
