She got a mean disposition and she got such a low-down dirty way
She got a mean disposition, she got such a low-down dirty way
I've been a-hopin' and trustin' that my babe would change someday
Many years I have travelled, yes, I've travelled far enough to know
Many years I done travelled, I've travelled far enough to know
You can't find no Heaven, nowhere in the world that you go
You're havin' a good time now, you're like the flowers that comes in May
You're havin' a good time now, you're like the flowers that comes in May
You're havin' your time now, but you've got to die someday
But you're gonna need me, you're gonna need my help, I say
Yes, you're gonna need me, you're gonna need my help, I say
And you had better use me, lover, just before I goes away
Why can't I be happy, people, like everybody else?
Why can't I be happy like everybody else?
I just sit around and worry, I'm a-worry my fool self to d**h
