Gee, but it’s hard to love someone
When that someone don’t love you
I’m so disgusted, heartbroken 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 day
It seem like trouble going to follow me to my grave

I ain’t never loved but three men 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 men come under my command.
