Mamie Smith - Don't Care Blues

I haven't eat for a week, I even walk in my sleep
(Bugs buzz around me, fleas always creep?)
Every night and day I hang my head and weep
Yes, and weep
I love my baby, I want him for myself
If he don't be mine, he won't have nobody else
He has left me, I do the best I can
I'm a do-right kid, (get a friend and replace that man?)

Now I got the don't care blues, can't be satisfied
Every night and day I hang my head and cry
I go to the grocery store to buy a rockin' chair
Blues overtakes me gonna rock away my cares
Now my love has been refused,
Now I got the don't care blues

I woke up this mornin' with the blues around my head
My baby left me, it nearly killed me dead
He went away, and never had a word to say

Now I'm worried, and lonesome deep down in my heart
Because I know the best of friends must part
He went away, it nearly breaks my heart

Now I got the don't care blues, can't be satisfied
Every night and day I hang my head and cry
I don't wanna (indecipherable)
The brown I had (indecipherable)not for me
Now my love has been refused,
Now I got the don't care blues
I haven't eat for a week, I even walk in my sleep
(Bugs buzz around me, fleas always creep?)
Every night and day I hang my head and weep
Yes, and weep
I love my baby, I want him for myself
If he don't be mine, he won't have nobody else
He has left me, I do the best I can
I'm a do-right kid, (get a friend and replace that man?)

Now I got the don't care blues, can't be satisfied
Every night and day I hang my head and cry
I go to the grocery store to buy a rockin' chair
Blues overtakes me gonna rock away my cares
Now my love has been refused,
Now I got the don't care blues

I woke up this mornin' with the blues around my head
My baby left me, it nearly killed me dead
He went away, and never had a word to say

Now I'm worried, and lonesome deep down in my heart
Because I know the best of friends must part
He went away, it nearly breaks my heart

Now I got the don't care blues, can't be satisfied
Every night and day I hang my head and cry
I don't wanna (indecipherable)
The brown I had (indecipherable)not for me
Now my love has been refused,
Now I got the don't care blues
