YOU DON'T WANT ME BLUES
(Hudson Whittaker (Tampa Red))

You say you don't want me; I'm nothing but trouble on your hands. (2x)
So I'll go back to my woman and let you go back to your man.

Someday you're gonna be crying to my picture on the wall, (2x)
When your so-called friend has gone and left you with no love at all.

But if winning will make you happy, I wish you luck in every way. (2x)
But I know you're going to regret it and find your mistake out someday.

Now, my train's at the station and I have sent my folks the news. (2x)
You can tell the world I'm leaving you, which you don't want me to.

[As recorded by Tampa Red, 1934. JTD]
