Lyrics Dyin' By the Hour (Remastered) - Bessie Smith
It's
an
old
story,
every
time
it's
a
doggone
man!
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,
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,
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!
