Down-hearted Blues Lyrics - Cab Calloway

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.
