THAT'S ALRIGHT
(Jimmy Rogers)

You told me, baby, once upon a time.
You said if I'd be yours, you would sure be mine,
But that's alright.
I know I'll never be the same, but that's alright,
Every night that I wonder who's loving you tonight.

You told me, baby, your love for me was strong.
When I woke up, little girl, half of this big world was gone,
But that's alright.
I know I'll never be the same, but that's alright,
Every night that I wonder who's loving you tonight.

Tell me baby, what's getting wrong with you?
You don't treat me halfway right, baby, like you used to do,
But that's alright.
I know I'll never be the same, but that's alright,
Every night that I wonder who's loving you tonight.

When I was loving you, you just didn't understand.
You went away and left me, baby, for some other man,
But that's alright.
I know I'll never be the same, but that's alright,
Every night that I wonder who's loving you tonight.

Posting this to celebrate another month in the Year of the Blues - some fat b*st*rd will want it!

Whenever I see the name "Jimmy Rogers," my first thought is always "Somebody misspelled Jimmie Rodgers again."

But no, Craig is right. (I looked it up.) He's talking about a different guy, the Chicago bluesman, not the singing brakeman.
