I Just Can't Stand These Blues (1930)

People I've stood these blues, ‘bout as long as I can.
I've walked all night with these blues, we both joined hand in hand.
And they trampin' my poor heart through, just like a natural man.

You see me smilin' every day, but people you don't know.
You see me smilin' every day, people but you don't know.
Love have taught me to do thing, that I've never done before.

Everybody says, “I love you.” Please don't waste your time.
Everybody says, “I love you.” Please don't waste your time.
‘Cause it only means a heartache and murder on your mind.

But God made some good women, Lord, in spite of all.
God made some good women, yes, in spite of all.
But we good men been treated so bad, until we afraid to fall.

Why women says, every man is just the same?
Why women says, every man is just the same?
These no good men done mistreated good women so, we good men have to bear the blame.
