Hard lovin' blues

Good mornin', blues,
Blues, how do you do?
Eh, good mornin', blues,
Blues, how do you do?
I would like to have
Just a few words with you.

Yeah, I woke up this mornin'
With an awful achin' head,
Yes, early this mornin'
With an awful achin' head,
Now my man has left me
A room with an empty bed.

Ain't it hard
Lovin' another woman's man,
Yes, it's so hard
Lovin' another woman's man,
You can't get him when you want him
You've got to catch him when you can,

It takes a good, smart woman these days,
Takes a good, smart woman these days,
Yes, to hold her man
When these gals has got so many different ways
I'm gonna watch my man,
Don't care what these other gals say.

Lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, oh, lord,
Hmmm, lord, lord!
Say, these men in Harlem
Treat poor me like I was a dog.
