ine sweet letter from you - Tampa Red

I can’t be happy, mama

For bein' so blue

When ya keep on worryin'

The way you do

When things go wrong

So wrong, wit' you

It hurts me, too

That man you love, darlin'

He don’t want you 'round

Why didn’t ya make love with Tampa, darling

And let’s jump the town?

When things go wrong

So wrong, wit' you

It hurts me, too

That man don’t love ya, darling

Told Tampa, so

He said it was only jivin' you, darlin'

He said he was lovin' a gal next do'

When things go wrong

So wrong, wit' you

It hurts me, too

Oh, but it do

That man’ll keep on doggin' you

'Til he goin' make Tampa, mad

An then Tampa goin' get somethin' from him, darlin'

Yo' man didn’t know he had

When things go wrong

So wrong, wit' you

Yeah, it hurts me, too

Play it, boy

When things go wrong

So wrong, wit' you

It hurts me, too
