Well, my man's got something, he gives me such a thrill Every time that he smiles at me, I just can't keep my body still But I done cried so much, look like I got the most I can't keep from worrying, cause I'm down in the dumps I had a nightmare last night, when I lay down And when I woke up this morning, my sweet man could not be found And I'm going down to the river, into it I'm gonna jump I can't keep from worrying, cause I'm down in the dumps Someone knocked on my door, last night when I lay asleep I thought it was that sweet man of mine, making his midnight crew here But it was nothing but my landlord, a great big chump Stay away from my door, Mr. Landlord, cause I'm down in the dumps Now when I woke up, my pillow was wet with tears Just one day away from that man of mine, it seemed like a thousand years Well, I'm gonna straighten up, just as straight as I can be But there ain't no use in me telling that lie, cause I'm down in the dumps *
