Текст песни Please Help Me Get Him Out of My Mind - Bessie Smith

I've cried and worried, all night I laid and groaned
I've cried and worried, all night I laid and groaned
I used to weigh 200, now I'm down to skin and bones

It's all about a man who always kicked and dogged me 'round
It's all about a man who always kicked and dogged me 'round
And when I try to kill him, that's when my love for him comes down

I've come to see you gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees
I've come to see you gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees
That man's put something on me, oh take it off of me, please

It starts at my forehead and goes clean down to my toes
It starts at my forehead and goes clean down to my toes
Oh, how I'm sufferin' gypsy, nobody by the good Lord knows

Gypsy, don't hurt him, fix him for me one more time
Oh, don't hurt him gypsy, fix him for me one more time
Just make him love me, but, please ma'am, take him off my mind
