Hey people, listen while I spread my news Hey people, listen while I spread my news I wanna tell you people all about my bad luck blues Did you ever wake up just at the break of day Did you ever break up just at the wake of day With your arms around the pillow where your daddy used to lay Lord, look where the chump's done gone Lord, Lord, look where the time's done gone Hey Lord, there's something going all wrong What's the use of living if you can't get the man you love The use of living if you can't get the man you love You might as well go die, give your soul to the Maker above
