Drunken Hearted Man (Take 1) Lyrics by Robert Johnson

The Centennial Collection

0

[Verse 1]
I'm a drunken hearted man
My life seems so misery
I'm a poor drunken hearted man
My life seems so misery
And if I only could change my way of livin'
It would mean so much to me
[Verse 2]
I been dogged and I been driven
Ever since I left my mother's home
I been dogged and I been driven
Ever since I left my mother's home
And I can't see the reason why
That I can't leave these no-good women's alone
[Verse 3]
My poor father died and left me
And my mother done the best that she could
My poor father died and left me
And my mother done the best that she could
Every man love that game you call love
But it don't mean no man no good
[Verse 4]
I'm the poor drunken hearted man
And sin was the cause of it all
I'm a poor drunken hearted man
And sin was the cause of it all
But the day you get weak for no-good women
That's the day that you surely fall
