  • There's a saying going 'round and I begin to think it's true
    It's awful hard to love someone, when they don't care 'bout you
    Once I had a lovin' man, as good as many in this town
    But now I'm sad and lonely, for he's gone and turned me down, now
    I ain't got nobody and nobody cares for me

    I got the blues, the weary blues
    And I'm sad and lonely, won't somebody come and take a chance with me?

    I'll sing sweet love songs honey, all the time
    If you'll come and be my sweet baby mine
    'Cause I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me

    Won't somebody go and find my man and bring him back to me
    It's awful hard to be alone and without sympathy
    Once I was a loving gal, as good as any in this town
    But since my daddy left me, I'm a gal with her heart bowed down Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
