Lyrics Wasted Life Blues (with James P. Johnson) [with James P. Johnson] - Bessie Smith
I′ve
lived
a
life
but
nothin'
I′ve
gained
Each
day,
I'm
full
of
sorrow
and
pain
No
one
seems
to
care
enough
for
poor
me
To
give
me
a
word
of
sympathy
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
the
end
be
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
become
of
poor
me
No
father
to
guide
me,
no
mother
to
care
Must
bear
my
troubles
all
alone
Not
even
a
brother
to
help
me
share
This
burden
I
must
bear
alone
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
my
end
be
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
become
of
poor
me
I'm
settin′
and
thinkin′
of
the
days
gone
by
They
filled
my
heart
with
pain
I'm
too
weak
to
stand
and
too
strong
to
cry
But
I′m
forgettin'
it
all
in
vain
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
my
end
be
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
become
of
poor
me
I′ve
traveled
and
wandered
almost
everywhere
To
git
a
little
joy
from
life
Still
I've
gained
nothin′
but
wars
and
despairs
Still
strugglin'
in
this
world
of
strife
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
my
end
be
Oh,
me,
oh,
my
Wonder
what
will
become
of
poor
me
