Songtexte Dyin' by the Hour - Bessie Smith

It's an old story, every time it's a doggone man

But when that thing is gone you

You just drift from hand to hand

I'd drink up all this acid, if it wouldn't burn me so

Then telephone the devil, that's the only place I'd go

Once I weighed two hundred, I'm nothin' but skin and bone

I would always laugh, but it's nothin' but a moan and a groan

Lord, I'm dyin' by the hour about that doggone man of mine

I'm dyin' by the hour 'bout that doggone man of mine

He said he didn't love me, that is why I'm dyin' an' losin' my mind
