Lyrics

[00:12.65] Gee, but it's hard to love someone
[00:17.95] When that someone don't love you
[00:22.13]
[00:23.88] I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, too
[00:31.05] I've got those down-hearted blues
[00:34.86]
[00:36.86] Once I was crazy 'bout a man
[00:42.60] He mistreated me all the time
[00:46.59]
[00:48.53] The next man I get has got
[00:51.33] To promise to be mine, all mine
[01:00.38] Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
[01:07.37]
[01:12.81] Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
[01:20.11]
[01:24.16] It seems that trouble's going to follow me to my grave
[01:31.44]
[01:35.56] I ain't never loved but three men in my life
[01:42.12]
[01:47.49] I ain't never loved but three men in my life
[01:55.60]
[01:59.04] My Father, my brother and the man that wrecked my life
[02:06.58]
[02:10.70] It may be a week, it may be a month or two
[02:17.27]
[02:22.38] It may be a week, it may be a month or two
[02:29.13]
[02:33.37] But the day you quit me honey, it's coming home to you
[02:40.30]
[02:44.61] I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
[02:53.65]
[02:56.09] I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
[03:03.20]
[03:07.26] I'm going to hold it
[03:09.25] until you didn't come under my command
