Jealous Hearted Me - The Carter Family

JEALOUS HEARTED ME

Writer A.P. Carter

Takes a rocking chair to rock takes a rubber tire to roll

Takes the man I love to satisfy my soul

Because I’m jealous, jealous hearted me

I said I’m jealous, jealous as I can be

Got a stove in the kitchen and it bakes nice and brown

But I need a poppa to turn the damper down

Because I’m jealous, jealous hearted me

I said I’m jealous, jealous as I can be

You can have my money you can have my home

But for goodness sake women leave my man alone

Because I’m jealous, jealous hearted me

I said I’m jealous, jealous as I can be

Gonna buy me a bulldog to watch him while I sleep

To watch that man of mine on his midnight creep

Because I’m jealous, jealous hearted me

I said I’m jealous, jealous as I can be
