Lyrics
My man's got somethin', he gives me such a thrillEvery time he smiles at me, I can't keep my body stillI done cried so much, look like I've got the mumpsI can't keep from worryin', 'cause I'm down in the dumps
I had a nightmare last night, when I laid downWhen I woke up this mornin', my sweet man couldn't be foundI'm goin' down to the river, into it I'm goin' to jumpCan't keep from worryin', 'cause I'm down in the dumps
Someone knocked on my door, last night when I was asleepI thought it was that sweet man of mine, makin' his 'fore day creepWasn't nothin' but my landlord, a great big chumpStay away from my door, Mr. Landlord, 'cause I'm down in the dumps
When I woke up, my pillow was wet with tearsJust one day from that man of mineSeems like a thousand yearsBut I'm gonna straighten up, straighter than Andy GumpAin't no use of me tellin' that lie, 'cause I'm down in the dumps
I'm twenty-five years old, that ain't no old maidI got plenty of vim and vitality, I'm sure that I can make the gradeI'm always like a tiger, I'm ready to jumpI need a whole lots of lovin', 'cause I'm down in the dumps
