YOU DON'T KNOW MY MIND
As recorded by Georgia White, 1937.

1. I went to the racetrack; my man he won,
Give the money to another gal and wouldn't give me none.

CHORUS: You don't know, you don't know my mind.
You see me laughin', [I'm] laughin' just to keep from cryin'.

2. I said to papa: "Can't you stand to see me cry?"
He said: "Yes, I can stand to see you die." CHORUS

3. You don't know, you don't know,
You don't know my mind, doggone you. CHORUS

4. I fed my man with plenty jelly roll,
Wore the shoes off my feet and left me in the cold. CHORUS

5. The grass is green and the mountains are blue.
That's not tellin' what I'm thinkin' 'bout you. CHORUS

6. Ah, you don't know, you don't know,
You don't know my mind, doggone you. CHORUS
