Sleepy John Estes — A Hard Pill to Swallow

It's a hard pill to swallow Fills my heart with pain It's a hard pill to swallow Fills my heart with pain Don't you hear me, people? I ain't no lyin' man I woke up this morning Looked up at the sun I thought about What my baby had done That was a hard pill to swallow It filled my heart with pain Well, don't you hear me, people? I ain't no lyin' man I went down on the corner To the paper stand I caught my baby Makin' love with her man That was a hard pill to swallow It filled my heart with pain Well, don't you hear me, people? I ain't no lyin' man Well, the police walked up And I didn't even run Now I'm servin' my time And my baby out havin' her fun That's a hard pill to swallow Yes, it fills my heart with pain Don't you hear me, people? I ain't no lyin' man When I was in prison Servin' my time When I came back home I heard a baby cryin' That was a hard pill to swallow It filled my heart with pain Well, don't you hear me, people? I ain't no lyin' man
