My man's got something : he gives me such a thrill
Every time he smiles at me : I can't keep my body still
I done cried so much : look like I got the mumps
I can't keep from worrying : because I'm down in the dumps
I had a nightmare last night : when I lay down
When I woke up this morning : my sweet man couldn't be found
I'm going down to the river : into it I'm going to jump
Can't keep from worrying : because 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 : making his 'fore‑day creep
'Twas nothing but my landlord : a great big chump
Stay away from my door Mr landlord : because 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 going to straighten up : *straight as a answer come*
Ain't no use of telling me that lie : because I'm down in the dumps
I'm twenty‑five years old : that ain't no 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 loving : because I'm down in the dumps
