Downhearted Blues Lyrics


Got up this mornin'
Feelin' sick and bad
I'm thinkin' 'bout the good time
That I once have hadI said, I got up this mornin'
And I said, I'm feelin' so sick and bad
Yeah, I'm just thinkin' 'bout the good times, children
That I, I once have hadDid you ever love
When they didn't love you?
You know there wasn't satisfaction
Didn't care what in the world you doI said you ever love
I said, when they did not love you?
Yeah, didn't look like there'd be satisfaction
Didn't care what in this old world you doI tell her come here little girl
Why don't you sit down on my knee?
I just wanna tell you how
You have been treatin' meI said, run here little girl
I said sit right down here on my knee
You know, I just wanna tell you

Just how you've been treatin' meYou know, that's a shame
Ole dirty shame
I'm so sorry the day, honey
I ever knowed your nameI said, you know that's a shame
I said, it's a low down, ole dirty shame
Oh, the way you been treatin' me
Is a low down, ole dirty shameYou know, love, love is a worried
Old heart disease
Look like the very one you be lovin'
Is so hard to pleaseI said, love
I said, is a worried old heart disease
Look like the very one you be lovin'
Is so confound hard to pleaseYou know, I go into my room
I sat down and cried
I didn't have no blues
But I wasn't satisfiedYes, I went in my room
And I said, and I sat down and I cried
Yes, I didn't have no blues
But I just wasn't satisfiedYou know, did you ever get up in the mornin'
With the blues three different ways?
You had two mind to leave here
And you didn't have but one such stayDid you ever get up in the mornin'
With the blues three different ways?
You know you had two mind to leave here
But you didn't have but one such stay

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Eddie James House, Jr. (March 21, 1902 – October 19, 1988), better known as Son House, was an influential blues singer and guitarist. His date of birth is a matter of some debate. Son House himself alleged that he was middle aged during World War I, and, more specifically, that he was 79 in 1965, which would mean that he was born around 1886. However, all legal records place his birth on March 21, 1902.
