there s a saying going round and i begin to think it s true it s awful hard to love someone when they don t care bout you once i had a lovin man as good as many in this town but now i m sad and lonely for he s gone and turned me down now i ain t got nobody and nobody cares for me i got the blues the weary blues and i m sad and lonely won t somebody come and take a chance with me i ll sing sweet love songs honey all the time if you ll come and be my sweet baby mine cause i ain t got nobody and nobody cares for me won t somebody go and find my man and bring him back to me it s awful hard to be alone and without sympathy once i was a loving gal as good as any in this town but since my daddy left me i m a gal with her heart bowed down
