Lyrics Eavesdropper's Blues - Bessie Smith
I
heard
the
folks
were
talking
here
yesterday
As
I
listened
by
the
door
Would
eavesdrop
'cause
they
never
hear
no
good,
they
say
And
I
heard
things
that
hurt
me
so
They
said
I
had
a
man
I
give
my
money
to
They
said
I
had
a
man
I
give
my
money
to
And
if
I
was
broke
he
would
turn
my
eyes
all
blue
They
talked
about
my
pa
who
was
blind
in
one
eye
They
talked
about
my
pa
who
was
blind
in
one
eye
They
said
he
was
a
sinner
and
was
too
mean
to
cry
I
never
knock
nobody,
wonder
why
they
picked
on
me
I
never
knock
nobody,
wonder
why
they
picked
on
me
There's
goin'
to
be
a
funeral
if
they
don't
let
me
be
I
never
stopped
to
listen,
to
try
and
hear
no
good
news
I
never
stopped
to
listen,
to
try
and
hear
no
good
news
I
hear
things
about
me,
give
me
those
