I'm Sorry Mama

Berlin Irving

Second Fiddle (1939)

I'm Sorry For Myself

I'm sorry for myself

So sorry for myself

Someone I love said good-bye

And no one's sorry for me that's why

I'm so sorry for myself

I'm blue as I can be

My man walked out on me

I'd go home and end it all

But fourteen stories is an awful fall

I'm so sorry for myself

I'm feeling mighty sad

I never looked so bad

I have lost my appetite

Couldn't eat my second steak last night

I'm so sorry for myself

So very blue am I

I wish I could die

Wish I had a nasty cough

I'd buy a gun but then it might go off

I'm so sorry for myself

I soon could end my woes

Down where the river flows

I would jump right in the sea

But no one may be there to rescue me

I'm so sorry for myself
