Lyrics Bessie Smith

Bessie Smith

Any Woman's Blues

My man ain't acting right, he stays out late at night

And still he says he loves no one but me

But if I find that gal, that tries to steal my pal

I'll get her told, just you wait and see

I feel blue, I don't know what to do

Every woman in my fix is bound to feel blue too, 'cause

I love my man better than I love myself

Lord, I love my man better than I love myself

And if he don't have me, he won't have nobody else

My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea

My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea

And ev'rytime he smiles he throws them lights on me

His voice sounds like chimes, I mean the organ kind

His voice sounds like chimes, I mean the organ kind

And ev'rytime he speaks his music ease my troubling mind
