Downhearted Blues - Son House

Got up this mornin'

Feelin' sick and bad

I’m thinkin' 'bout the good time

That I once have had

I 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 had

Did you ever love

When they didn’t love you?

You know there wasn’t satisfaction

Didn’t care what in the world you do

I 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 do

I 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' me

I 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' me

You know, that’s a shame

Ole dirty shame

I’m so sorry the day, honey

I ever knowed your name

I 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 shame

You know, love, love is a worried

Old heart disease

Look like the very one you be lovin'

Is so hard to please

I said, love

I said, is a worried old heart disease

Look like the very one you be lovin'

Is so confound hard to please

You know, I go into my room

I sat down and cried

I didn’t have no blues

But I wasn’t satisfied

Yes, 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 satisfied

You 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 stay

Did 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
