Well, I’m down an discouraged an Worried and I’m bothered, too
Well, I’m down an discouraged an Worried and I’m bothered, too
An it’s all on the account of just the way my baby do
(harmonica & instrumental)
You put the love bug on me, woman
And you made prosperity come
You put the love bug on me, woman
And you made prosperity come
If there’s anyone can beat you
I can’t see how it can be done
(harmonica & instrumental)
Yes, I bought you shoes
I bought you clothes
I bought you ev’rything, baby
That yo' trunkard hold
That’s why
After you do me like you done
When you’ve got yo' money
Yes, you would not give me none
Yes, I been broke an hungry
Yes, for a-many long days
I been broke and hungry
Yes, for a-many long days
Ever since I stop workin' on that WPA.
(harmonica & instrumental)
