Downhearted Blues lyrics

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.

I was crazy `bout a gal,
She mistreated me all the time,
Next gal I get, she`s got to promise to
Be 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 me
Is bound to come back to you.
