ORIGINAL SONGTEXTE
(Bessie Smith)
Settin' in the house with everything on my mind
Settin' in the house with everything on my mind
Lookin' at the clock and can't even tell the time
Walkin' to my window, an' lookin' out of my door
Walkin' to my window, an' lookin' out of my door
Wishin' that my man would come home once more
Can't eat, can't sleep, so weak I can't walk my floor
Can't eat, can't sleep, so weak I can't walk my floor
Feel like hollerin' murder, let the Police Squad get me once more
They woke me before day with trouble on my mind
They woke me before day with trouble on my mind
Wringin' my hands and screamin', walkin' the floor hollerin' and cryin'
Catch 'em, don't let them blues in here
Catch 'em, don't let them blues in here
They shakes me in my bed, can't set down in my chair
Oh, the blues has got me on the go
Oh, they've got me on the go
They runs around my house, in and out of my front door

~ ~ Settin' in the house with everything on my mind ~ ~
Settin' in the house with everything on my mind
Lookin' at the clock and can't even tell the time
Walkin' to my window, an' lookin' out of my door
Walkin' to my window, an' lookin' out of my door
Wishin' that my man would come home once more
Kann nicht essen, kann nicht schlafen, bin so schwach, dass ich nicht auf meinem Boden laufen kann
Kann nicht essen, kann nicht schlafen, bin so schwach, dass ich nicht laufen kann
Feel like hollerin' murder, let the Police Squad get me once more
~ ~ They woke me before day with trouble on my mind ~ ~
They woke me before day with trouble on my mind
~ Wringin' my hands and scream', walkin' the floor hollerin' and cryin' ~
Fangt sie ein, lasst den Blues nicht hier rein
Catch 'em, don't let them blues in here
~ They shakes me in my bed, can't set down in my chair ~
Oh, the blues has got me on the go
~ Oh, they've got me on the go ~
Sie rennen um mein Haus herum, rein und raus aus meiner Haustür
