Lost Your Head Blues (05-04-26) - Bessie Smith

I was with you, baby, when you didn’t have a dime

I was with you, baby, when you didn’t have a dime

Now since you got plenty money, you have thrown two good gals down

Once ain’t for always and two ain’t for twice

Once ain’t for always and two ain’t for twice

When you get a good gal, you’d better treat her nice

When you were lonesome, I treated you kind

When you were lonesome, I treated you kind

But since you’ve got money, it has changed your mind

I’m goin' to leave you, baby, and I ain’t goin' to say goodbye

I’m goin' to leave you, baby, and I ain’t goin' to say goodbye

But I’ll write you a letter and tell you the reason why

Days are lonesome, nights are so long

Days are lonesome, nights are so long

I’m a good gal, but I just been treated wrong
