Desperate Blues Lyrics by Trixie Smith

Trixie Smith: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 1 (1922-1924)

0

[Verse]
There's something wrong inside my head
Yeah, lately all I see is red
I dream all night 'bout guns and knives
'Bout taking certain parties' lives
Most every night in slumber deep
I kill sweet papa in my sleep
Folks say my mind's got a disease
But they can call it what they please
[Chorus]
It's them desperate blues
The desperate blues
I'm nervous as I can be
Looks like love done made a fool of me
If my temper I lose
You'll read in the news
[Well, last night the police?] captain sent me somewhere, Lord
Ain't them desperate blues
[Bridge]
Nowadays on the level
Oh my, it's [?]
Get full of the devil
Cryin' "I'm finally free"
I'm just lately beginning
To find new ways of sinning, sinning
Thrills me, fills me, almost kills me
With a wild, burning delight
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It's them desperate blues
The desperate blues
I'm nervous as I can be
Looks like love done made a fool of me
If my temper I lose
You'll read in the news
[Well, last night the police?] captain sent me somewhere, Lord
Ain't them desperate blues
