| Song | I'm Down in the Dumps |
| Artist | Bessie Smith |
| Album | 1923-1933: Empress of the Blues |
| 作词 : Wilson, Wilson | |
| My man's got somethin', he gives me such a thrill | |
| Every time he smiles at me, I can't keep my body still | |
| I done cried so much, look like I've got the mumps | |
| I can't keep from worryin' 'cause I'm down in the dumps | |
| I had a nightmare last night, when I laid down | |
| When I woke up this mornin', my sweet man couldn't be found | |
| I'm goin' down to the river, into it I'm goin' to jump | |
| Can't keep from worryin' 'cause I'm down in the dumps | |
| Someone knocked on my door last night when I was asleep | |
| I thought it was that sweet man of mine makin' his 'fore day creep | |
| Wasn't nothin' but my landlord, a great big chump | |
| Sat 'way from my door Mr. landlord, 'cause I'm down in the dumps | |
| When I woke up my pillow was wet with tears | |
| Just one from that man o' mine seems like a thousand years | |
| But I'm gonna straighten up, straighter than Andy Gump | |
| Ain't no use of me tellin' that lie 'cause I'm down in the dumps | |
| I'm twenty-five years old, that ain't no old maid | |
| I got plenty of vim and vitality, I'm sure that I can make the grade | |
| I'm always like a tiger, I'm ready to jump | |
| I need w whole lot's of lovin' 'cause I'm down in the dumps |
