Ain't it hard to be lonesome
When you're sleepin' all by yo'self?
Ain't it hard to be lonesome
When you're sleepin' all by yo'self?
Now, and the one that you lovin'
Has done gotten in touch wit' somebody else

I love my, baby
An I tell the world I do
Lord, I love my baby
And I tell the world I do
Now, mama some a these days
I hope she come to love me, too

I don't want none-a-these funny women
If they don't know how to rob an steal
I don't want none-a-these funny women
If they don't know how to rob an steal
'What'd you gonna do?'
You work yo'self to death
In some po' farmer's field

What you want wit' a woman, now-now
An she don't no yes from no?
