Roosevelt Sykes — The Way I Feel Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Hey: I know you don’t know the way I feel
Lord you treats me: just like my heart is made of steel
My baby: don’t see why I *pone thee* no more
Lord I believe to my soul: that she’s got the man next
door
I woke up this morning: just as sick as I could be Now nothing but these blues: almost killing poor me I spoke hard words to my mother: even to my dear old dad
too
Which I wouldn’t have spoken: if it hadn’t’ve been for
you
Since we been apart: my life don’t seem the same
Lord it breaks my heart: to hear the *work‑hard* Miss
so‑and‑so's name
