Lyrics of 'Downhearted Blues' by Son House

Mmmm, mmmmm
Got up this mornin', feelin' sick and bad,
I's thinkin' bout the good time, that I once have had
I said, I got up this mornin', and I said I's feelin' so sick and bad,
Yeah, I's just thinkin' bout the good times, chil'ren, that I, I once have had
Mmm, 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'd 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
Mmm, 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, ol' 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, ol' dirty shame,
Oh, the way you been treatin' me, is a low down, ol' 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
