Lyrics:

Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken too
I've got the downhearted blues
Once I was crazy about a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get, he's got to promise to
Be mine, all mine

'Cause you mistreated me and you drove me from your door
You mistreated me and you drove me from your door
But the Good Book says you'll reap just what you sow

Trouble, trouble, just like I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble, just like I've had it all my days
Sometimes I think trouble will follow me to my grave

Now I ain't never loved but three men in my life
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
'Twas my father, my brother, and the man that wrecked my life

Well it may be a week, and it may be a month or two
Lord, it may be a week, and it may be a month or two
All the dirt you done to me, honey, it's comin' back home to you

I've got the world in a jug, and the stopper right here in my hand
I've got the world in a jug, and the stopper in my hand
You want me, pretty papa, you've got to come under my command
