Gee, but it＇s hard to love someone when that someone don＇t love you!
I＇m so disgusted, heart-broken, too; I＇ve got those down-hearted blues;
Once I was crazy ＇bout a man; he mistreated me all the time,
The next man I get has got to promise me to be mine, all mine!
Trouble, trouble, I＇ve had it all my days,
Trouble, trouble, I＇ve had it all my days;
It seems like trouble going to follow me to my grave.
I ain＇t never loved but three mens in my life;
I ain＇t never loved but three men in my life:
My father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life.
It may be a week, it may be a month or two,
It may be a week, it may be a month or two,
But the day you quit me, honey, it＇s comin＇ home to you.
I got the world in a jug, the stopper＇s in my hand,
I got the world in a jug, the stopper＇s in my hand,
I＇m gonna hold it until you meet some of my demands.
