Who'll Get It When I'm Gone? - Ethel Waters, J C Johnson, Ethel Waters, J.C. Johnson

I’ve been thinking of you, little sugar lump

Every since I went away

I’ve got the sad and lonesome, weary blues

I don’t know just hardly what to do

They say there’s better fish have never been caught

But since I left you, honey, I’ve often thought

What a fool I was to sit up all night long

'Cause you did me wrong

Say, who will get it, who will get it?

Your lovin' when I’m gone

I know you can’t forget the day we met

Them sweet lovin' kisses that I used to get

Who’ll be trying, who will be trying

To bite me in my back?

I can’t watch you like I should

You fooled me 'cause you said you were good

Who’ll get your lovin', honey, when I’m gone?

Oh, who will get it, who will get it?

Your lovin' when I’m gone

I know you won’t forget the day we met

Those lovin' kisses that you used to get

Who’ll be trying, who will be trying

To bite me in my back?

Women bite me in my back, it’s considered a disgrace

Women will take your man now in front of your face, so

Who’ll get your lovin', honey, when I’m gone?
