Minutes seem like hours : and hours seem like years
Since I've had these blues : I just can't keep from shedding tears

I'm going to tell everybody : what my good gal done to me one day
She put me out and broke my heart : just to pass the time away

Now I ain't got no money : and I ain't got nowhere to stay
But that's all right baby : if you want to turn me away

You know I work hard baby : and I brung you home my check
Now I ain't never loved no woman : like I loved you yet
