It’s hard lovin’ someone… when they don’t love you

I’m feelin’ so low… and heart-broken too

But what can I do… I’ve got those down-hearted blues

My girl treated me bad… ‘bout all the time

But the next one I get… gonna be all mine

Now what can I do… I’ve got those down-hearted blues

If I had a girl… how happy I’d be

I’d treat her so good… I know she’d never leave

But what can I do… I’ve got those down-hearted blues

I almost worried to death… the day she drove away

But I’d be a fool… to grieve another day

Still what can I do… I’ve got those down-hearted blues

Trouble, oh trouble… had it all of my days

Trouble, oh trouble… can’t seem to get away

Seems trouble gonna follow me… right into my grave

Got the world in a jug… got the stopper in my hand :

I’m gonna drink my fill… then I’m gonna make my stand
