Subject: Lyr Add: JEALOUS HEARTED ME^^
This one was easy, no rough spots to worry over. Only question would be who REALLY wrote it, my guess is that this is one of the A. P. Carter originals. It's got some of those really nice long guitar breaks between each verse. As far as I know, this original version has never made it to CD, just the lp I mentioned above, 37 years or so ago, though I can't imagine how it got to be 37 years in such a short time.

Jealous Hearted Me
(A. P. Carter)

Takes a rockin' chair to rock, takes a rubber ball to roll
Takes the man I love to satisfy my soul
Because I'm jealous, jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be

Got a stove in the kitchen, and it bakes nice and brown
But I need a poppa to turn the damper down
Because I'm jealous, jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be

You can have my money, you can have my home
But for goodness sakes, women, let my man alone
Because I'm jealous, jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be

Gonna buy me a bulldog to watch while I sleep
To watch that man of mine on his midnight creep
Because I'm jealous, jealous hearted me
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be
