Down Home Blues Lyrics by Ethel Waters

1921 - 1923

0

[Verse]
I never felt so lonesome before
My friend has quit me, he's gone for sure
He broke my heart, for I loved him true
So now I'm worried, lonesome, and blue
I've got the blues on my mind
I just feel like crying all the time
[Chorus]
Woke up this mornin', the day was dawnin'
And I was feelin' all sad and blue
I had nobody to tell my troubles to
I felt so worried, I didn't know what to do
But there's no use in grievin' because I'm leavin'
I'm brokenhearted and Dixie bound
I've been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose
My train is waitin', I got the down home blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Woke up this mornin', the day was dawnin'
And I was feelin' all sad and blue, Lawd
I had nobody to tell my troubles to
And I felt so worried, I didn't know what to do
But I said there's no use in grievin' 'cause I'm leavin'
I'm brokenhearted and Dixie bound, Lawd
I've been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose
And my train is waitin', and I got the down home blues
