Cold in Hand Blues - Bessie Smith

I've got a hardworkin' man

The way he treats me I can't understand

He works hard every day

And on Sat'day throws away his pay

Now I don't want that man

Because he's gone cold in hand

Now I've tried hard to treat him kind

I've tried hard to treat him kind

But it seems to me his love has gone blind

The man I've got must have lost his mind

The man I've got must have lost his mind

The way he treat me I can't understand

I'm gonna find myself another man

I'm gonna find myself another man

Because the one I've got has done gone cold in hand
