Lyrics I'm Down in the Dumps - Bessie Smith
My
man's
got
somethin',
he
gives
me
such
a
thrill
Every
time
he
smiles
at
me,
I
can't
keep
my
body
still
I've
done
cried
so
much,
look
like
I've
got
the
mumps
I
can't
keep
from
worryin',
oh,
'cause
I'm
down
in
the
dumps
I
had
a
nightmare
last
night,
when
I
laid
down
When
I
woke
up
this
mornin',
my
sweet
man
couldn't
be
found
I'm
goin'
down
to
the
river,
into
it
I'm
goin'
to
jump
Can't
keep
from
worryin',
oh,
'cause
I'm
down
in
the
dumps
Someone
knocked
on
my
door,
last
night
when
I
was
asleep
I
thought
it
was
that
sweet
man
of
mine,
makin'
his
'fore
day
creep
It
was
nothin'
but
my
landlord,
a
great
big
chump
Stay
away
from
my
door,
Mr.
Landlord,
'cause
I'm
down
in
the
dumps
When
I
woke
up,
my
pillow
was
wet
with
tears
Just
one
day
from
that
man
of
mine
Seem
like
a
thousand
years
But
I'm
gonna
straighten
up,
straighter
than
Andy
Gump
Ain't
no
use
of
me
tellin'
that
lie,
oh,
'cause
I'm
down
in
the
dumps
I'm
25
years
old,
that
ain't
no
old
maid
I
got
plenty
of
vim
and
vitality,
I'm
sure
that
I
can
make
the
grade
I'm
always
like
a
tiger,
I'm
ready
to
jump
I
need
a
whole
lots
of
lovin',
'cause
I'm
down
In
the
dumps
