Lyrics He's Gone Blues - Bessie Smith

I feel blue, I want someone to cheer me
Lonesome too, because my man's not near me
I'm gettin' tired of bein' alone
I want my good man to come on home

He's gone and left me
He's gone away to stay
I never had a man in my whole life
To treat me this-a-way

I work hard both night and day
I even let him draw my pay
He packed his grip and left on Christmas day
Oh well, I guess he's gone

Any sound-minded woman liable to go insane
When the best man she had has gone astray
Since my man is gone, he's gone away to roam
All I can say, he's gone, gone, gone

He's gone and left me
He's gone away today
I never had a man in my whole life
To treat me this-a-way

I work hard both night and day
I even let him draw my pay
He packed his grip and left on Christmas day
Oh well, I guess he's gone
Oh well, I guess he's gone
