Cab Calloway — Down-Hearted Blues

Gee, but it's hard to love someone When that someone don't love you; I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, too I've got those down-hearted blues I was crazy 'bout a gal She mistreated me all the time Next gal I get, she's got to promise to Be mine, all mine 'Cause she mistreated me And she drove me from her door; Yes, she mistreated me She drove me from her door But the Good Book says She'll reap just what she'll sow I ain't never loved but three women in all my life I never loved but three women in all my life That was my mother, my sister, and the gal that wrecked my life [Heavily scatted] All the dirt you done to me Is bound to come back to you
