Cab Calloway - Down-Hearted Blues [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you;
I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, too
I've got those down-hearted blues

I was crazy 'bout a gal
She mistreated me all the time
Next gal I get, she's got to promise to
Be mine, all mine

Cause she mistreated me
And she drove me from her door;
Yes, she mistreated me
She drove me from her door
But the Good Book says
She'll reap just what she'll sow

I ain't never loved but three women in all my life
I never loved but three women in all my life
That was my mother, my sister, and the gal that wrecked my life

[Heavily scatted]
All the dirt you done to me
Is bound to come back to you
