Tampa Red - Why Should I Care? lyrics

No one to love me, no one to care And the girl I'm loving, she don't play fair She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry Why should I care? I got a mind to ramble I got a mind to leave the town Oh, the girl I've been a loving She's gone and throwed me down How could she leave me, so cold in hand She give my money to another man She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry Why should I care? Good luck is a fortune, mama And it's bound to come my way I'm down now, baby But I will be up someday She pawned my diamonds, my watch and chains Would've pawned herself but she felt ashamed She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry Why should I care? Sometime I wonder, mama Who put the jinx on me? Well, I ain't no bad fella And I don't intend to be She left me sinkin' down on my bed Hopin' and wishing that I was dead She's gone and left me, I shouldn't worry Why should I care? [Incomprehensible] mama That big boat whistle blows I'm leavin? your city, mama And I won't be back no more
