Roosevelt Sykes Hard Luck Man Blues
My babe my babe : she don't do no way to comfort me
She know that ain't no way : for a sweet little wife to
be
I'm in a worse fix now baby : than I ever been before
I'd rather be on the North Pole : living in the ice and
snow
Last time my baby quit me : I say I didn't no more want
her around
But every time I see her smiling face : my kind‑hearted
feeling come down
Love will make you do things : that you swear that you
would not do
You know if you ever been in love : what I'm say ain't
nothing strange to you
I'm a hard‑luck man : just as hard‑luck as I can be
If I didn't have good friends : I don't know what would
become of me
